Summary: Some of the best anti-poetry out there
Comment: Cook doesn't follow the "rules," and that's what makes him great. His poems are easy to understand and follow, and I think that drives so called poets nuts--you know the poets that think a poem has to be a mystery or hold some deep truth, hidden from the majority of the world. Cook's poems don't toe that line, and they're better for it. That doesn't mean they're light pieces of fluff meant only to get a laugh. There are some poems that have deep emotional content, and once examined, they are as profound as anything by James Wright or Forrest Gander. You just don't have to look as hard.

Summary: maybe spoken, but not read
Comment: These are short cute spoken word pieces.
This is not poetry. Don't yell at me, I don't
make the rules here, I only follow them.
Matt Cook is brash with very little depth.
He wants to create his own perspective, but
James Joyce never did speak about boxers,
and poems should not always end with a punch line.
Rating: 5
Summary: Better than sticking a fork in your eye!
Comment: I had to pick up a copy after seeing this guy live a few times. His live show is great, and the book is the next best thing. Ranks right up there with Man on Ladder Painting.
