THIS IS THE LAUNCH OF A BOOK.
It's a book of poems.
It's about how things are bad and sometimes also not bad.
Brief reading, cash bar, books for sale.
For more information, please contact Jenna Illies.
These are some abbreviated things people who didn't write this book had to say about it:
"This is a startling collection. The demonic shares a stage with the heartbroken, and the just plain broken. When Showler says, off-handedly and without warning, Lets think about the desert. Im willing to try."
Ken Babstock, author of Methodist Hatchet
"Tuned to the music of real speech, and alive with humour, sadness and surprise, this sly debut collection shows naysayers they neednt fret so much about the future of our poetry. Its in good hands."
Kevin Connolly, author of Drift and Revolver
'Drink its paradoxical music, its convivial elisions which arent lapses of judgment, or aesthetic blackouts, but the subtending of our companionable faults. Please enjoy recklessly."
Michael Lista, author of Bloom
