Poetry. Gabe Foreman's A COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE is not your average reference book. It turns a series of sociological case studies into a functional encyclopedia that doubles as a unique, achingly funny, always engaging collection of poems. "Bridesmaids," "Day Traders," "Entomologists," and "Number Crunchers" are all dutifully catalogued in a series of luminously strange, compellingly original lyric and prose poems.
