Editor, teacher, pillar in the literary community: Berrigan is sort of a superstar poet: he was the director of the Poetry Project from 20032007, is currently the poetry editor of The Brooklyn Rail, and is the co-chair for the interdisciplinary MFA program at Bard College and also teaches at Brooklyn College and Pratt Institute. He is also the son of Alice Notley and Ted Berrigan and brother to fellow poet Edmund Berrigan. This is to say, many, many people not only love his work, but also respect him as a pillar within the literary community, especially in New York.

Formally audacious but accessible: Berrigan is always experimenting with form, but this book is probably his most audacious. While formally playful, it is still accessible, and it will be highly anticipated by bookstores who cherish his work, but its wit and plainspoken language make it an excellent read for someone new to poetry.

Industry Reviews

For Brooklyn poet Anselm Berrigan, the political arrives in pieces, settling across his sprawling poems like dew or debris. Berrigan has always matched his experimental drive with a personable quality...
-Michael Brodeur, Boston Globe

Anselm Berrigan's voice continues be one of the most refreshing in contemporary American poetry, for its singular welding of candor, political awareness, and humor that attempts, with a very high rate of success, to co-opt the commercial and political jargon of our times to return it to higher purposes...
-Virginia Konchan, Galatea Resurrects

Anselm Berrigan's free radical poetry chops your hands off mid-line, drops the book into your lap, and caresses you with disquiet indie pop allusions and echoes of ubiquitous advertising absurdities as it cheers on that last ill-intentioned pint before the crestfallen exit from the pub on a Monday night while ambitiously and unambiguously telling you it might not be OK, but I wouldn't know anyway.
-Jason Eric Jensen, The Brake Lights
