First, I want to say that I LOVE THIS CHAPBOOK! It is gorgeous and so full of life and movement and love and loves. So much food and joy and dancing. Every poem is a movement and a song. Names of loves and loved ones, and all the poems fit into each singular poem. It is a ruckus, rowdy collection that sings and celebrates. With such heart and so damn much love.

Ellen Hagan, author of Blooming Fiascoes and the forthcoming Don’t Call Me A Hurricane

“Do you know the beginning of the film National Treasure, when Nicholas Cage travels across the tundra to find Charlotte, the ship that’s supposed to hold the treasure, but it only yields another clue in a long trail of clues? This book is sort of like that scene, only with some crucial differences: instead of Nicholas Cage, the hero is Mark Cugini; Riley (the bumbling sidekick) is me; the evil British guy is Don Share; and the ship is the locus of capital itself—blown to bits by this powder keg of poems. This chapbook reads like the New York School, but if the New York School poets were all from Staten Island and started a queer anarcho-punk collective in the remains of a bombed-out PacSun. This chapbook reminds me of why I love poetry, Mark Hoppus, and Mark Cugini. It’s fucking sick!!!!”
