The first book of short stories from one of my very favorite poets. These pieces are (almost) as weird as his dream delivery service writings or his entrepreneurial series. Here, a limb gets cut off, a sword transports you to mythical land, a baby is abandoned, a delivery driver has to step over corpses to get the job done, a heart is made of apples, a man marries a house, an arm turns into a person, and much more. Surreal and absurd, just how I like my short stories.

I met Mathias at a poetry reading and we had a brief conversation about used books with heavy marginalia that suddenly stops around page 40.
As a first work of fiction, this is great. Some stories are much stronger than others. Mathias’ background as a poet really shines through the prose. Hearts and I Bought a Sword are the standouts for me.
