[Christian Champagne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book continues the use of words as beauty by a great poet. A kind, visceral, living voice.

[Provocateurs of Esoterotica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Undoubtedly some of the most beautifully human sensual poetry we, the Provocateurs at Esoterotica, have ever heard, read, and experienced, the writing of Geoff Munsterman is unsurpassed. We not only recommend this book, but if you get a chance to hear him in person, do not hesitate. It's a limited edition release so if you can still get a copy, or come across one, snatch it up immediately.
A particular favorite of all of us, especially Shadow Angelina and Aime' SansSavant

Geoff's poetry can grab hold of you the way the first song you'd heard by your favorite band did when you were fifteen. His words wouldn't feel out of place written in White-Out on your crush's backpack, or seen in faded paint on an old tobacco barn in a field you're driving past on Route 10, or found on a folded piece of hotel stationary slipped beneath your door while you were sleeping. The poems in this book are piercing in their insight, simultaneously profound and humble, affecting without being maudlin, free of kitsch and cliche.
