Subtitled 'A Book of Poetic Short Stories and Poems', this collection reads years ahead of its time. Set mainly in Jazz Age New York City, the poems and tales are a series of profiles of people in seedier parts of town, along with bizarre love songs and even a trip to Mars. Not for the easily offended.
( Matt Pierard)

If you believe explenative iterations on every subject in every sentence defines good/ironic literature, then this is your most excellent listen!
