My Vibe

by Jeremy Sigler (Contributor)

My Vibe is New York–based poet and writer Jeremy Sigler’s collection of diaristic tales by an only partly sympathetic struggling poet who flirts with―and often fails at―creating romance and playful distractions in his otherwise boring life. The tales are self-deprecating, awkward, nostalgic and at times perverse, but they retain warmth, honesty, whimsy, charm and are often wickedly funny. “I love pseudoscience. I love it. Next time I read my work in public, I’m gonna cut out big cardboard letters and paint them red. I’m gonna prop them up behind T-E-D. Pseudoscientists get all the fans. They get all the love letters. For their viral youtubes of levitating beer cans. The Pseudos get all the attention. They go viral. Unlike poets.”

“Jeremy’s voice is one you can’t deny; it’s crisp, clever and sometimes creepy. It’s like finding someone’s old journals, their identity revealed bit by bit, confession by confession.” – Abbi Jacobson, Broad City

One of those books where I didn't want it to ever end. I can always wait for a month or so, and re-read it again. "My Vibe" are bite-size narrations - either prose poems, or mini-narratives, but nevertheless, very funny. A real joy.

i didn’t like the book so much because i’m a bit of a traditionalist and it didn’t have a poetry vibe. to me it was prose!!!! and sometimes i didn’t know what he was saying. but sometimes he made me laugh out loud.

"What am I doing here? This event is all writers. And nobody seems to recognize me. Even though I'm the only Peter Falk in the room. A character among authors."

"Poets should look and act like Peter Falk. Don't you think?"
