New Release: “Limericks of Loss And Regret”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“LIMERICKS OF LOSS AND REGRET” IS YOUR LAST YEAR IN BOOK FORM
Author Marty Barrett Pens Plague Opus
Limericks of Loss And RegretLOS ANGELES—From cormorants that may or may not be guiding our destiny, to “Love Boat” fan fiction, to a torrid showdown in Cheyenne, the 100 short stories and limericks in Marty Barrett’s plague opus “Limericks of Loss And Regret” run from ribald to poignant to ridiculous, much like the recent news cycle. Like the year we’re experiencing, “Limericks of Loss And Regret” is full of uncertainty, malaise, flashes of hope, and grim humor.

“I’d like to think that, whatever side of the divide you’re on, everybody likes a filthy limerick now and then,” Barrett says, “and the stories are long enough to leave readers profoundly affected but short enough for them to say ‘What just happened?’” The author also notes that the best way to read the 50 limericks and 50 short stories is “one a year for the next century.”

Barrett was born in Massachusetts where he began his career as a theatre producer, editor, and raconteur. He has done the same in Southern California, where he hosts the popular Almost Live from the Verdugo HUUT show (www.verdugohuut.com).

As it begins its slow rollout to bookstores, libraries, and Costcos around the world, “Limericks of Loss And Regret” is tangibly available in paperback at Amazon and barnesandnoble.com and as an eBook at Amazon and Apple Books.
