Okay, so this is just a blurb sort of thing, but I'm not much for detailed critique type bullshit. This is what I said on Amazon.
If you like poems that take memory and experience and mix them up with twisted helpings of pleasure and pain in the forms of things like tongue anuses and dripping esophageal testicles and meanwhile map out a medical sort of diagram of a speech impediment, you'll find this book to be quite interesting. It's as if Gertrude Stein put on her mask and got out the chains and bullwhip and stood up and said "..." whatever she would say....it's this book....that's what she would say...a nice Burroughsian sort of cut-up going on. I suggest you buy it. You'll feel much better about yourself after it's all done.
