Laughing is Forever
Gritty, rhythmic, far-out poetry from a unique American voice
"This collection is brave, unflinching and hits you like a punch in the jaw. It is at times brutal and vicious but also tender and intelligent. I was reminded of early Eminem in the poignant anger of some of the poems."
-Sam Szanto, author of If No One Speaks
"These are the kind of tattered, beautiful poems I often search for and rarely find-the ones that explain, 'Just be happy with a beer after work. You know, quit all the complaining. It won't change a single thing. It just prolongs the suffering.' "
-Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of Death Prefers the Minor Keys
"Stocks's writing has a powerful immediacy, and his poems are packed with both profanity and pop-culture references . . ."
