Master Of The Medical Thriller by Ben Newell

The local gynecologist

is having a signing

at the independent bookstore.


His third

or fourth novel.



He fancies himself

the next Robin Cook—



The guy can’t write

worth a shit

but I’m still jealous.



He’s loaded,

lives in a big house,

drives a Porsche.



And sees more pussy

on a Monday morning

than I’ll see in a lifetime.






About Ben Newell:

Ben Newell dropped out of the Bennington Writing Seminars during his first semester, eventually resuming his studies at Spalding University where he earned an MFA.  His first full-length collection of poetry, Fuzzball, was recently published by Epic Rites Press.
