Adam Robison and Other Poems

Poetry. "Not only my favorite title of the year, but this is also a book I have been waiting to hold in my hands with great anticipation for quite some time--as a friend, yes, but more so in language glee. Adam can truly speak it in a way I have never heard anyone else speak. This is going to be one to drink milk in bed with"--Blake Butler. "From trompe l'oeil title to anomalous index, this is a book of pristine openings and closings, preoccupied with structure, literary convention, popular and intellectual culture, biography, genre and identity. Somewhat skeptically, it marks out a testing ground for poetry. And poetry, confident in those sparkling titles and last lines, jumps into the ring"--Mairead Byrne.
