Rick Lupert's 28th collection of poems and latest travelogue, written on the go in and on the way to and from Italy and France. Join the ultimate stranger in a strange land as he travels through Bologna (where famous food is eaten and tall things are climbed up), Florence (where a promised cow is not delivered), Naples (where all the historic pizza is discovered), and Paris (which is always a good idea.) Reading It's Spritz O'Clock Somewhere is the ideal way to travel to Italy without incurring the expense yourself. Lupert's signature wit and wisdom are on full display as he navigates the ancient pathways of the Roman empire, eating all the cheese available, and interpreting some of the world's most beautiful art and architecture. There's no more fun way to experience the joy of place with poetic eyes wide open.

Industry Reviews

Rick Lupert's unique voice can be counted on to show you the world as you've never noticed, making the ancient familiar and providing the everyday with unseen facets. In this latest work, Rick takes us on an enchanting tour through Bologna, Modena, Pisa, Florence, Naples, to end up in Paris (the dream). with his lovely wife, Addie (she's in charge of gelato). He holds his wit and wisdom lightly enough to pack into a carry-on, quietly noting contradictions/hypocrisies, and absurdities that humanity is heir to along the way. I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud, but enough that my son's cat felt compelled to leave the room. I encourage you to put on some Puccini, pour yourself a glass of Limoncello, and experience the journey through the eyes of this poet/ husband/father/fellow-traveler. Sometimes, everybody gets a halo.
