Beskrivning

"After reading Mr. Faulkner's incredible book, something happened. I began to feel bad for the person I was before reading his poems. The poet writes: 'I've placed dynamite around your heart and a bit / in your teeth. How bored you must have been / before you met me.' And he's right. It was so goddamn boring before we met him."--Matthew Dickman Need Machine clamors through the brain like an unruly marching band. Both caustic and thoughtful, these poems offer a topography of modern life writ large in twitchy, neon splendor, in a voice as sure as a surgeon and as trustworthy as a rumor. Andrew Faulkner co-curates The Emergency Response Unit, a chapbook press. This is his first book.

Recensioner i media

"Andrew Faulkner's debut collection of poetry is as sharp as a bag of razors about a subject that usually breeds nothing but milquetoast wishy-washiness: boredom, dissatisfaction and indifference. Instead of the watery, grey and indefinite language that these feelings often inspire, Faulkner attacks them with every ounce of acerbic, snarling wit he can muster." -- Canada Arts Connect "Faulkner is writing in & of his time, & doing so in a highly engaging manner. Need Machine is a fine debut." -- Douglas Barbour
