"Gabriel Welsch's remarkable third collection boisterously offers up a wonderfully imaginative romp through the wilds of pop-culture and various amusing suburban conflicts. These poems are at once hilarious and tender in their resolve to praise the very pulse of a busy life-even if we face the knowledge that 'loss fires the blood/ loss starts the day, blood fired is the day.' In poem after poem, Welsch displays a rare understanding of what it means to reward the reader by uncovering wild, brave, and beautiful truths about the human condition." -Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of Lucky Fish
