RISE OF THE COVFEFE by JAMES FEICHTHALER

More than three years ago, a rogue Tweet from the White House launched the word “covfefe” into the world. It enjoyed brief notoriety in the Twitterverse in 2017, before being buried under the sheer weight of other rogue Tweets.

But it is not destined to fade away. Not while James Feichthaler walks the earth. James is a street poet and the pied piper of the Dead Bard’s Society in Manayunk who took covfefe and made it his own, rendering it all in capital letters in the process.

When COVFEFE lodged in James’s fertile mind, it grew and took on epic proportions, spawning a series of powerful lyrical poems that he has been delivering in live performances for years. Now, this cycle of poems has come together in a single book-length work, The Rise of the COVFEFE (2020, Parnilis Media), available in paperback and Kindle formats. And it couldn’t be more timely.

The Rise of the COVFEFE holds a satirical mirror up to these times, right down to the tiniest freckle on society's backside. It's not for the faint of heart. But neither are these times, and James Feichthaler has a way of striking at the heart of things with language that is brutally honest, sometimes infused with wry humor, sometimes with laugh-out-loud humor, and always delivered with zero damns given. It may or may not change the mind or heart of its audience, but it will take them on a hell of a ride.
