Greatest Living Poet

Poetry books are incredibly exciting, although sometimes you wouldn't know by the covers. We ought to proudly strut our poetic stuff with the kinds of commercial jacket art that can turn your typical OK-selling poetry book into a coast to coast masterpiece. Brandon Downing's DARK BRANDON was one of the most exciting books I read last year. Title? Fantastic. The cover? *Pretty good*. But couldn't it be better? Couldn't the reader get an even better sense of the kind of fun and intrigue that was to be found within its covers? I'd say Fuck Yes.



Doesn't that look like a book you're gonna tear right the hell through and buy another copy of? In fact, it is so good a cover, it works for ANY book of poems.



Thanks for playing our game.
