    If you've ever seen Seth Walker's Poetry Live, you know that the poetry is only part of the show. This album was made in response to the overwhelming demand for recordings of the live sets, which include stand-up routines, political public speaking rabble rousing, and though provoking audience interactions. This Album is the closest you can get to a true entertainment experience without having Seth Walker's Poetry spilled in your ear by the poet in person.

    Recorded in Arizona before live audiences in both Flagstaff and Tucson, "The Government is Your Bitch" features some of the most famous of Seth Walker's Poetry including "A Tree Story", "Trust in Dustin", and "Immigrant Nation". This album has been critically acclaimed for not only its poetic content, but also for the riveting and reeling rants Seth intricately places between his nationally acclaimed poetry recitations. This is the closest you can come to a truly breathtaking live experience without being in actual underground poetry show in person.

    Though not for the faint of heart or small children, this is one album that will redefine you're definition and expectation of poetry, stand-up, and performance theatre for years and years to come.
