"The voice of this book. It has everything I want and yet I really
can't explain it. It's hurt shit. A laugh that ends with a turned head
and a teary eye. Each poem sings for lost unknowns to come home. It's
funny, straightforward, absurd, sad, and, ultimately, true in the way
that only art can be. Say hello to the gay Rodney Dangerfield. Say
hello to the Boom Doctor. Say hello to your first real boyfriend. Join
me in welcoming this new voice. The Big Bruiser Dope Boy. One of the
new wolves. May he forever huff and puff. We will never escape his
cartoon."
