When dense poetics

dance

with journalism,

when sparseness

locks arms

with a burning world.

This book feels

like reading the paper

with a paintbrush.

Watching the news

with a napkin

of blood.

At times humorous,

at times terrifying,

but constantly fun.

Full of rants,

digressions,

and commas.

This one

from Blackwell

was right up

my alley.
