| I love David Lehman’s books. They’re always so kinetic and interesting. This one toys with formalism and mythology more, but still manages to capture the current moment and modern life at its most curious. A wonderful book. | |

"Holy crap this is great. I didn’t know Boggess could write like this. Dark and funny and hopeful and strange. Man, this is so good."

It was just an idea I had back in 2002. I was obsessed with for a while, and I’ve kept it up for more than two decades.

| My eight book is filled with question poems, the major theme of the last twenty years of my life. I love these poems. I hope that you will, too. | |

“There are basically three types of songs: loved songs, unloved songs, and transitional songs written by tired people in between the two. Love songs are cheesy, unloved songs are depressing, and transitional songs are poetry. Transitions catch the world on fire, touching on relevant topics while speaking with giddiness and despair of the lover between.”

“These friendly eyes, these lustful eyes, these hopeless, sad, dispirited eyes, these energetic amber eyes needing no escape, these serpent's eyes, cat's eyes, sorcerer's eyes, the eyes of future family men, funeral directors, and unsuspecting officers of the law, the mischievous eyes of plotters and planners, soon-to-be soldiers, or underworld attorneys on retainer, the eyes of maniacs and fanatics, hipsters and wallflowers, dreamers and the object of dreams, I gazed into them all and knew that they were human eyes, each pair offering insight toward a new tomorrow.”

“This sludge oozes like a dying sea snake, though it tastes like it's already dead. Some evil force made up this concoction, intending to release it to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world. But the creator made the mistake of tasting his creation and passed on. The world was saved for a moment. Still, like the black plague, this thing refused to fade out forever. I'm sad to report that our good friend Cliff behind the bar rediscovered it. Now it's spreading around the world as if carried by rats.”
