Cheer Up, Jay Ritchie

"Charming, funny, and often elegant. This is a formidable collection." —Ben Fama

With an alternating sense of wonder and detachment, Jay Ritchie''s first full-length collection of poetry grapples with death, disappointment, love, alienation, and emails—the large and small subjects of daily life. His unflagging sense of humor and aphoristic delivery create a work that is personable yet elevated, witty, and honest.

Jay Ritchie was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario and lives in Montreal, Quebec. Cheer Up, Jay Ritchie is his full-length collection.
