Richard Newman is a badass of a poet - brutal at times, always elegant. The bleak midwestern landscape of his hometowns, where even the ditches have names, are a perfect backdrop for his sad and funny poems. The boy can work himself some meter, too. Favorite poems include his monster sonnets, which expose the existential angst of your favorite matinee movie idols, including Mothra ("Let's face it, I make a shitty monster").

Colin Meloy tells us all about growing up in Bumfuck, Montana with an absentee coolie uncle for a music mentor and no decent concerts in a ten-hour drive. Not so much about the Replacements, which is actually pretty cool. Lots about Colin - a solid coming-of-age memoir.

Hailed as the Citizen Kane of the comics, this epic will make you question everything you ever thought you knew about superheroes. More meta than you can shake a stick at, with killer art and scary pirates for good measure. When Rorschach asks "why are so few of us left healthy, active and without personality disorders?" you start to wonder if he went to your high school...

I just re-read this one, and I'm still down. It's a classic coming-of-another-age summer story, brimming with desire and alienation and the narrator's unflinching love for his main men. Sometimes I think my circle of acquaintances couldn't get any weirder, then I read a book like this and slip a gentle sigh of relief.

Just re-read this last night. Love the theme: Suppose one could believe the tabloid headlines. Suppose the stories under them were true. Leax takes such headlines as "World's Fattest Twins Arrested for Stealing World's Fattest Cat" and "Duck Hunters Shoot Angel" and examines the desires and fears that lurk under those stories. I love books that expose the humanity in the inhuman and lend dignity to the grotesque. This gem is published by WordFarm - holla!
