Viva Miscegenation
Poetry. "65.3% urbanity, neoclassical wit, critical detachment, epigrams, and sestinas; 34.7% curses, farts, and terrible jokes. Like modernist poetry, but with adulterations. I am in awe of the range of styles, the wealth of invention. The title is this is a living book."—Aaron Kunin
"These poems are about as much furious thunder (lightning's or gunpowder's) as the lyric can carry now, well into the 21st century. Ranging, ambitious, messy here, elegant there—they sprawl with winning abandon like poetry's equivalent to a Franzen novel, sacrificing no wit but also no genuine gravitas. Look, they seem to say, at what poetry could do!"—Susan Wheeler
