a bullet is a promise is, to some extent, the days, hours, and minutes leading up to and following the author’s failed sewer slide attempt in August 2022
this book is the second installment in the God pours salt on slugs series
Iep Jāltok: Poems from a Marshallese Daughter by Kathy Jetn̄il-Kijiner, God Pours Salt On Slugs, and A Bullet is a Promise by drunkaloneagain are the only 3 poetry books I have ever read. Iep Jāltok was for school.
My rankings of all poetry books God pours salt on slugs A Bullet is a Promise
Excellent moving work. I could not put it down. Drunkaloneagain’s writing really gets into your head in a good way and makes you think. I highly recommend.
