Sympathy Loophole

This lively first collection, often both creepy and hilarious, serves up an image-laden universe N the sideshow we call home N where contortionists, womanizing ventriloquist dummies, and pickled sharks compete with the everyday for the mark's hard-earned buck. Jaime Forsythe's poetry is loaded with wit, mystery, surprise, and breathtaking juxtapositions N it's a contemporary inventory of pop culture and human experience that proves the wacky and the poignant can share a seat in the same roller-coaster of a stanza.
