"There’s much to reap from The Drunk Sonnets even if you don’t often feel like throwing up at work"

Joseph Goosey wrote a very thoughtful review of The Drunk Sonnets for The Rumpus. Here's an excerpt:

Just as Charles Bukowski could be typecast as the despairing drunk and Frank O’Hara could be typecast as the joyous drunk, Bailey’s work embodies more accurately the bi-polar nature of drunken thought, sharing both his despair and his joys and all that sits in between.

Thanks Joseph!

"If we are kin, that is a rare and dangerous thing"

NOÖ Weekly returns with selections from Guest Editor Joe Hall. Check out the work from A. Minetta Gould, Caren Scott, and Eric Scovel, of which Hall says: "The blood here is not pure but wonderfully polluted with technology and crucifixes and things I do not know about. If you drank it you might die."
