Hooligans

by Lillian Necakov

Hooligans is the fifth full-length poetry book by Toronto writer
Lillian Necakov. It is a collection about genocide, hope,
regret, and a man who ate his shoe; about a discarded subway
token, curbside anticipation, the power of fire, divided
memories; about the symptoms and shenanigans of daily
life on one dot of a large globe. In Hooligans, Necakov extends
her reach from the surreal and personal into areas
of science and mathematics—and even there, she reaches
deep into the human psyche and pulls out something startling.
