for your gun, then it's best to stop reading here. Ed Bok Lee, the real topic of this review, is heartbroken about America. Reading him it feels like Woody Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg and every podium-grabbing, circular breathing, poetry-voice wielding, satchel-carrying slam poet has been rolled into one body, given an unlimited latte-drip, and let loose upon the page.His poems are alternately devastating and grandstanding, word-drunk and built for speed.
