To Lose & To Pretend

"Poems that are perfectly suited for subway rides. The brief passages are at times funny, at times ambivalent, turning from contemporary cynicism to a world-weary romanticisim that lends itself to depicting the poignancy of everyday crap. That's meditations on shitty summers and bad jobs, old girlfriends, and meaningless personal flailing, grasping at shreds of nostalgia-inducing pop culture names and places but ultimately only holding on to the feeling of loss." -Kyle Chayka, Hyperallergic
