Salad Days (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737022213)

A portrait of the artist at the brink of self-actualization, Salad Days is a vulnerable and evocative study of identity. Its seven sections of thirteen poems each-"Waves of Confusion," "Moon Unit," "Art for the Afterlife," "Future Moods," "Double Fantasy," "Infinite Sadness," and "Sour Times"- describe its melodic and mood-based movements. This is a book that pops-that celebrates weirdness and leans into fantasy. If it were a movie, it would be a dark comedy; if it were a song, it would be New Wave. As a poetry collection, it transcends genre. It's meta, sardonic, messy, effortlessly joyful, and blithely relatable. Salad Days mines life's dry and youthful indiscretions and relates them in these sharp and cheeky poems.
