endo

Poems and sketches, 2007-2011.

"Most poets put their heart into their work, but very few put their whole body into it. Johnny does, and you can sure as shit see that reflected in this volume. It’s an accomplishment." --Joseph Flatley, author of The Terrorist's Novena

"endo hits hard. ... The word play going on throughout the poetry is wonderful. Even the formatting of the work, with its white space and constant pop culture references has an unusual bleak humor to it. ... endo deserves your attention." --Beach Sloth

"I feel as though I am reading the words of a voice that witnesses the existence of the individual, in all its trivial and epic details, from some eternal place outside of the universe. Menesini's writing refuses to acknowledge any divide between poetic realization and the concrete stalemate of everyday life. His poems contain both an objective sense of the cosmic and a subjective interpretation of the human world." --Bill Hughes, author of Down the Western Dark
