I Love This American Way of Life Brett Evans

Poetry. With deliciously suggestive illustrations and daring pop-ups, pull-tabs and action mechanics, I LOVE THIS AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE is guaranteed to rustle your bustle, pop your cork, and fog over your monocle.--Joel Dailey

Brett Evans poems make me feel dirty/clean. He takes the entire subjective world that we want to un-see, opens a view to the squalor that we want to overlook, and re-upholsters it with gilded coats. I LOVE THIS AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE is like shuffling a deck of cards and then pulling out the Ace over and over again. Each one a new lyric, an unapologetic delve into the psyche of our Americanness, our otherness, and full of fortune love. Evans brings the solution to light in each poem--a temporary in your face, that falls away into the crushing beauty of Americana.--Mariana Ruiz
