What a strange, specific pleasure it was to read this book. I knew there would be others out there that shared this aesthetic, but here you are!
Paul is a heck of a really great writer, in my humble opinion.
This is not poetry that lingers over the kill, either. It makes its meat fresh and available for us, then moves on. Ah, it is youth itself!
