One of my favorite books of poetry ever.

This is everything you could want from a book of poems, Ben Fama is one of the best writers of our generation tbh. Very cool, unpretentious, special poetry that lingers in your head like a good song.

Fama manages to combine all the elements of a certain kind of contemporary life that you would think can't possibly be wrangled into decent poetry. The horny poems are especially good!

Loved being in Ben Fama's world. An NYC-LA hybrid Americana fizzy glossy dream portal. Celebrities are gods parties & drugs are sustenance. It's all presented with self awareness without forgetting fun of poetry. A true voice.
