Intended Shadows

by Patrick Bryson

A book of poorly written poetry, full of contrived rhymes and discordant rhythms. Includes subjects such as getting drunk, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, making light of someone's suicide, finding the murder of a trans woman funny, the desire to rape an unconscious woman, and of course, the urge to shoot up a school. A classic cishet white man piece of shit. Worst thing I've ever fucking read.
