Suicide By Jaguar

Suicide by Jaguar is the debut book of poems by comic book artist and sales professional Dave Landsberger. The major themes of the book are death, tacos, Egyptian mythology, basketball, motherhood, and beauty. Containing both unapologetic love poems and sincere elegies to wild animals, Suicide by Jaguar foregoes irony and other poetic strategies of evasion in order to engage the extremes of human emotion. Landsberger is as unafraid to address the process of gentrification as he is to celebrate the small joys of late capitalism, bending classic forms such as terza rima and heroic couplets into contemporary diction. Published by Jai-Alai Books in a unique bilingual format, Suicide by Jaguar also contains Suicido por Jaguar, a Spanish-language version of the book translated by J.V. Portela. Half-lyrical all-you-can-eat buffet, half-anti-poetry-manifesto, Suicide by Jaguar belongs on your shelf between the TV remote and a bowling trophy.
