Mayhaps

by Laura June

From the publisher:

Laura June (known by numberless aliases, including but not limited to Laura June Dxiubin and Laura June Topolsky) doesn’t back down from exploring the hard topics. In this, her first work of poetry since 1986’s “Why Am I So Ugly, and When Will I Grow Front Teeth?” Laura’s upbeat, positive nature shines through in short, pithy fragments such as “Fuck the Internet, I’m Going to Bed” and “Why Yes, You’re Correct: I’m Wrong” — one of which has been shortlisted for the next Inauguration of the next US president (whoever that will be). Never one to shy away from her feelings and shroud them in a silly (yet exceedingly clever) and entertaining pack of lies, Laura can, as usual, be counted on to shock and overuse the comma, at the very least. Sure to be a hit this holiday season with all the best Pulitzer Prize candidate elites.

This book has been produced in a limited, numbered edition. Handmade with love and care in the factories of Shenzhen, the cover is an original hand-printed… print by famed ukelele player Jody Perigo.
