Poetry. "Not only my favorite title of the year, but this is also a book I have been waiting to hold in my hands with great anticipation for quite some time--as a friend, yes, but more so in language glee. Adam can truly speak it in a way I have never heard anyone else speak. This is going to be one to drink milk in bed with"--Blake Butler. "From trompe l'oeil title to anomalous index, 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.

“In this enchantingly ‘disenchantingly meta’ collection of relentless poems, Adam Robinson evokes the rapid and jarring connectivity of Internet searches with the dadaistic charm of Tristan Tzara and Henry Parland.”
—Johannes Göransson
