Footnotes on Falling

by Joshua Ip

Footnotes on Falling is a collection of 44 poems about sub-optimal life choices. The poems constantly laugh at themselves because they are polite, and Asian. They shuffle their feet sideways while declining eye contact. They indulge in wordplay because it gives them something to do with their fingers. They prefer to be read out but also prefer that this be done in private. They secretly would like you to bring them home.

[Greg Bem · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book provides an interface for time travel. An enmeshing of the movement that occurs simultaneously between and beyond relationships. It is a book of form and illustration through verse and the uttered moment of beauty. As revelation, it is a work that consumes as it is consumed. As reiteration, it is an uplifting reminder of our challenges through being human.
