Description

From studies of a man who juggles his eyeballs and an eagle that does housework to thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg, societal dishonesty, and lost innocence, the poems of Best Seller draw their energy from the joy of singing out, almost spontaneously, about the often quirkily ordinary vicissitudes of being.

Knowing that the spirit of life is the spirit of play, these poems come out of nowhere to proclaim eccentric truths with a deceptive simplicity that takes delight in grasping the cacophonies of experience and trying to make them rhyme.
