Story-styled poetry from the mind of author Dave Matthes.
Matthes' fourth volume of poetry and stories will leave you gasping, hurting, and in some instances, reaching for another bottle. Exploding forth with more of what makes him HIM, author and poet Dave Matthes details more memories of the past, tales of the present, and fears of the future, offering an honest, derogatory, and at times an exaggerated albeit detailed account of what it means to be alive in the most fundamental and vengeful way. "Ejaculation" is Matthes' most brutal account in poetic form yet, and promises to make the reader wonder endlessly about the very truth of their "norm".

The titles did it for me.
I loved this book, it's perfect (as is the case with all this author's poetry). The titles of each poem is really what resonated with me, I love how they had little to nothing to do with each poem. This author never disappoints, whether it's with his bomb poetry or with his deep and meaningful books. I can't get enough of it, I highly recommend his book Bar Nights if you're looking for the same tone.

I found this to be an honest collection of writings of a drunken mad man, which i enjoyed.
