There Is Nothing Poetic About Fish

In Benjamin Daniel Lawless' first book of poetry you will find Astronauts! Car crashes! Muggings! Freddie Mercury! Storms in South Dakota! Fiery cadavers in Fresno! Confusion in Lodi! Exhaustion! Romance! Awkward situations in burning buildings! A gorilla at the prom! Strange naked women! Metaphor! Dick Clark! A world without us in it! Baseball! Fast cars and ghetto gangsters! Art classes! Dante's Inferno! A good jazz band, but atrocious company! Edward Hirsch! Liquid hot magma! The moon, and you and me! Inappropriate comments to authority figures!
