Publisher Description
These poems were composed while having drinks downtown, enjoying the college-town local nightlife often with a typewriter and sometimes with an ink-pen and a Moleskine notebook. I let myself go, and I wrote a few gems and a whole lot of crap.
I have chosen the gems and applied Hemingway's advice: "write drunk, edit sober". My raw poetry was rife with typos and holes and I needed to edit it to make it clear and coherent. But I also didn't want to overcook it; in my editing I strove to keep each poem faithful to the original so that the emotion and drunkenness would be maintained.

almost
he was just barely touching the surface, teasing. i was craving so much more by the end of it. but i guess that’s the point of it being so short. regardless i loved it and it was free so? can’t complain.
Relatable
I loved it.. i do feel this way as well.
Fun poems
There’s nothing I love more than a well constructed sentence.
