James Benger and 1 other person liked William F. DeVault's review of Rattle & Numb: Selected and New Poems, 1992-2019: "Excellent poetry volume by an authentic voice. As the current Ohio Beat Poet Laureate, Burroughs unleashes his intellect and passion on a world drowning in mediocrity!"

James’s Quotes

“you told me once
about how they used
to build whole city states
out of poems

how everything you see here
is made out of
the bones of dreams

how having a stiff
drink with lorca meant
you had to write
everything down right away

lately the words just
won’t come”
― John Dorsey
