In this outrageous second volume of amazing poetry, quick-witted spoken word slam champ Matt Cook tackles science ("Static Electricity"), geography ("Pittsburgh"), and death ("Oblong Strongboxes"), among other topics. His vision is that of the blue-collar Midwest, perceptively observing life globally ("Goat Transaction") and locally ("The Man Across the Street"). Quirky and humorous, with a subtext of serious social commentary, Cook's writing is for people who think they hate poetry (and for those who love it, too).
