“Anansi Poems”  is a cycle of eight poems about spiders written by Christopher L. Jorgensen while intoxicated to varying degrees; conception usually done sober, a range of alcohols going into their execution. Some now seem divinely inspired to their author who often woke to completed poems he could not remember writing. There’s a chance this whole collection is plagiarized.

These poems are influenced by Neil Gaiman’s books “American Gods” and “Anansi Boys” inspired by alcohol and one spider in particular.
