Description

Whether denouncing insomnia, exploring family tragedy, or celebrating love and lust, his writing is so profoundly original, so funny, twisted and simultaneously literary, you won't know whether to laugh or cry, but you'll definitely keep reading. These poems resonate at unexpected moments: on a street corner, waiting on hold with the telephone company, opening the mail. Once you read them, Jeffrey McDaniel's lines are inescapable.

Reviews

"McDaniel has stunning metaphorical abilities and delivers this gift straight to the reader through his singing, crazy, gorgeous and relentless heart. He is one of the best young poets on the planet." - Thomas Lux
