Notes of a Neurotic!

In Notes of a Neurotic, Summer Hill Seven provides poetry, essays and plays that are as bombastic as the writings of Amiri Baraka as piercing as Miguel Pinero and as poetic as Paul Laurence Dunbar often all in the same sentence. In addition to the entertainment and intellectual value, these Notes of a Neurotic are specifically designed to heal the emotions of the reader, the speaker and the writer of these words.

~ June 9th ~
ANNUAL COOCHIE-EATERS DAY
Summer Hill Seven
founder and author of
Notes of a Neurotic!

Thursday, June 9th, 2005, has been declared Annual Coochie-Eaters Day by author, poet and activist Summer Hill Seven. The young American author invited all citizens of the world who are so inclined to celebrate the joys of “coochie-eating”. “The purpose of these types of celebrations are to bring together people who may not know other people who share their passion because of a societal taboo against the activity. Unlike smoke-outs (for marijuana) and some other similar annual celebrations, coochie-eating is not illegal yet”, the author said today from Cedar City, Utah.

Every year henceforth, anyone who would like to come together and celebrate the joys of cunnilingus – they can look forward to 6/9 – June 9th. When asked whether the name of the celebration is potentially offensive to gay men or straight men and women that may disapprove of the act, Seven simply responded – “fuck ‘em – literally.” Adding, “this celebration will promote family values.”

In his first book, Notes of a Neurotic, Seven provides poetry, essays and plays that are as bombastic as the writings of Amiri Baraka as piercing as Miguel Pinero and as poetic as Paul Laurence Dunbar often all in the same sentence. In addition to the entertainment and intellectual value, Notes of a Neurotic is specifically designed to heal the emotions of the reader, the listener, and the writer.

When asked how best to celebrate – Summer Hill Seven said – “by respectfully indulging or reminiscing about the beauty and pleasure of coochie-eating.” Ironically Seven is in Utah finishing up work on the next book – Hang Time! – “I’ll spend the day reminiscing, my girl is out of town.”
