Another super funny and strange collection by Knox. It's the kind of stuff that makes your jaw drop and makes you think, "I can't believe she wrote that."

This (bluebird) poetry book is fan (bluebird) tastic. You can read it to your friends in the kitchen. Or sing your luvah (Stef) to sleep with tales of meat. Thanks Bethany who thought I'd like to get drunk by noon.

A thoughtfully hilarious collection of referential poems that breach the jello wall of the uncanny. This one's going to stick with me.

The book seemed to improve as it got going. Really enjoyed the latter half.
