One of the best collections in this series released by HSTQ. It starts off really grown up with top poems by Mendes Biondo, Ben Newell and Alan Catlin...then Scarlotti comes along and lowers the tone with one of his best, tub boy.
The stand out poem was by a poet new to me, Bear Food by Maté Jarai was bloody brilliant. I always knew Leonardo Di Caprio was a bastard that ruins everything.
If you haven't ready any of the HSTQ quarterlies then make sure you get on it right away.

If you delve into this third year anniversary quarterly, you will find that it has a certain Utopian aesthetic. I'm not sure where that came from, but it is there among the smash and grab heists (2), physical assaults, and sex work.

Poems about seasonal rebirth and the smell of train brakes. St Tropez Tan is funny about wanting to “find his beach” where the topless French may beg for his autograph, but odd to assume the delivery man has it worse than him on the same or higher level as a dishwasher lol. Then there’s some creature-adjacent talk and literally anticlimactic prose that’s not my jam (or his ;))
Ironically reading a Fourth of July poem on accident that very day—about a tornado though I wonder where it’s located. Casey Kiser: Love a good “Queen of the Gas Station” girl! Then another ED poem. Gee, does the summer heat have an effect?
The Splash reminds me a tad of a New Orleans frat fight scene w/ a frat in The Hard Road by Brendan Heneghan, though it involved metro hipsters more than transvestites. Johnny Scarlotti has an unconventionally scary piece about someone reaching into your toilet stall at a park. Now I’m legit sick. Haha.
Hard to compete for memorability with that for pgs, though the one about a guy telling a girl he hasn’t written about her is cuz he’s too preoccupied being happy is cute. In a cheeky way, so is Time For A Change by A Thiest.
