"This book is an indigenous flower blooming among hybrid roses.
Unique, daring, blowzy, fragrant with life, it is flagrant
truth-telling at its deepest, funniest, saddest, and best, a book
we all long to read." --Dorianne Laux, author of Facts About the
Moon
Adrian C. Louis is a one-man wrecking crew who will change the face
of poetry until we all wake up and honor him. His visions and
choice of words are rhythmic, defiant, and timeless. --Bloomsbury
Review
Louis . . . shows us a scalded world made purer through his vision.
--The New York Times Book Review
