The Fuck Up. Arthur Neresian. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tragic, surreal, and identifiable all at once. The East Village is shown in its former gritty glory as our arrogant, self-destructive, and desperate narrator tries to make it from day to day. What really makes this book something to read over and over, is the amazing lines of poetry set against this bleak backdrop. Nersesian has created something beautiful in resignation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mesopotamia by Arthur Nersesian. A fast read because you want to keep turning the pages. This has sparked me to reread The Fuck Up, Manhattan Loverboy, Dogrun, Chinese Takeout, Suicide Casanova, Unlubricated, and East Village Tetralogy. Looks like my next binge read will be rereads. ⠀\

Dr. Mutter's Marvels. Cristin O'Keefe Aptowitz. I just finished this book and cannot stop telling people everything I learned from it. It is truly amazing that any of our ancestors survived. @muttermuseum @coaptowicz

I am not sure how I didn't know about her poetry for so long. @coaptowicz @writebloodypublishing
