Packed with wry comedy, satire, and wordplay, this collection of poems celebrates life as an early 20-something. The extraordinary verve and compassion of the verse reveals the anxiety of new responsibilities and contains a vast array of imagery, including prophetic videos, a moon colonized by bullies, weeping scholars, laughing ducks, and silent weddings. Filled with exuberant energy and passion, these occasionally self-deprecating poems are raw but never hopeless.
