First published in 2010 by Narrow House Books, the mis-eponymous collection of poetry by Adam Robinson is made available again here, unabridged and unchanged, and includes all the classics, like "I'm Going to Have SEX with these People," "Glenn Tipton" and "It's Down to Mom or CLAUDIIIIIIIIIINE." "Adam Robinson's mix of classical and mundane references imbues lines like "There would be a pronounced lack/ Of throwing Nerf balls to paralytics/ In the basement" with more meaning than they have any right to have.- Baltimore City Paper "This is one to drink milk in bed with." -HTMLGiant "This is a book of pristine openings and closings, preoccupied with structure, literary convention, popular and intellectual culture, biography, genre and identity. Somewhat skeptically, it marks out a testing ground for poetry. And poetry, confident in those sparkling titles and last lines, jumps into the ring" - Mairead Byrne, author of TALK POETRY
