No One Can Do Anything Worse to You Than You Can
by
Sam Pink
Why is it that we're always afraid of our ankles getting grabbed by a hand coming out of the gutter? And why will our lives be completely fulfilled when we look down one day and notice we're wearing underwear made out of a brown paper bag?
Thankfully, you don't have to think about any of that because in his second collection of poetry, Sam Pink has done the work for you.

“Stating facts about yourself that aren't true, you completely identify yourself.”
Riding in the elevator today at work inevitable small talk started up with a co-worker. She started it. The other person always does. I have a life time of experience at not saying anything unprovoked. It's a skill for top-notch resumes for sure.
She said something about New Years. She asked about what I did for New Year's Eve. No one ever asks what I normally do on a Monday night. I normally have something more to...more

This is a collection of four long poems: The Midwest, You Hear Ambulance Sounds and Think They Are For You, Human Beings Are Toys and A Shield Made of Napkins.
I see them as incredible pieces of literature or a turned out bag of mess. For me it's really hard to distinguish. There are some moments in the four pieces I can ease back and emphatically pump my fist in agreement and congratulations of Sam Pink's genius. Then there are moments where I wonder if I had just happened upon a public release...more

This book issues a lot of challenges.
First, it dares you to find someone who can do something worse to you than you can do to yourself.
Second, it dares a homicidal maniac to kill the author on a specific date.
Finally, it dares rats to not coming parading in through the giant crack under the door being used to taunt grocery delivery people.
Whether you are a pessimist or an optimist, a psycho or a chronic cult follower, a contractor or a hobbyist, this book has something to challenge you and ma...more

I gifted this to Rachna for X-Mas. I read it before I shipped it. You know what they say: the couple that reads Sam Pink together is probably the kind of couple you shouldn't ask to babysit your kid. When I read Sam Pink I really don't want to be interrupted and the anxious thought I may be interrupted hits me every chapter or earlier. I like my violent hate-filled hilarity all in one go. And for an hour max.
This book consists of four poems: "The Midwest," "You Hear Ambulance Sounds and Think They Are For You," "Human Beings Are Toys," and "A Shield Made of Napkins." Although the first two poems (in my opinion) were much better than the last two, all of them were great. This is one of Sam Pink's greatest works to date.
There is nothing about this book that I would change. The cover is pretty nifty, too.
