About the Author
Reviews
"This book reads like a long, breathless thank-you for life's seemingly random jumble of beauty, strangeness, tenderness and joy." -- Los Angeles Times
"Young has mastered his own style and way of thinking in poems. Only a rare poet can make a reader simultaneously cry and laugh this way." -- Publishers Weekly
"Young's amiable Dadaism kindly and gently shows us the desperation and oblivion visible in good poetry. For all his comedic effects, there's some serious work being done here. Young's work withstands and encourages such serious treatment." -- Boston Review
"Mr. Young knows that to be truly reverent, the poet needs to be irreverent...But for all his humor and linguistic jazz, Mr. Young doesn't shun the big questions." -- The New York Times
"The poems always seem to be flying away--from easy sense making, from themselves, from us. It's almost as if they are birds. And, as birds, most of them soar well above the seed-pecked fields of contemporary poetry." -- Coldfront
