Milk and Money: A Parody

A good poetry collection has a tender soul that deals with survival, violence, love, and loss using the frailty of language. This is not that.

Milk and Money, the unauthorized parody of the bestselling Milk and Honey, is none of these things, but it sure is hilarious. Milk and Money takes you on a journey of the most beautiful moments in life and ruins them, because there is a certain divine comedy in lackluster internet poetry. Nothing about this poetry collection lives up to the greats, but you’ll find it hard to put down.

Rudi Boor is not a bestselling author and has illustrated nothing since middle school. Her poetry collection is entirely parody and offers no new insights into the complexity of anything. Rudi views her life as a journey to the next margarita bar, and her poems deal with shame, one-night stands, and trashy decision making, because that’s really all life is anyway. Once, after dropping out of college, Rudi read her poetry at an empty bar and the lack of booing inspired her to share her work with the world.
