"I was absolutely blown away by this book. These poems are vulnerable, funny, irreverent, surprising...these poems are like sitting at the lunch table with the funniest kid in school and realizing how profoundly sad they are."
Much love to @thecorlew.bsky.social for reviewing Kiik's book!

From 2011 to 2015, Edward Mullany released a trilogy of books with @pubgen.bsky.social that we return to often. Tiny poems & microfictions both haunting & hilarious. He ended these 3 books with a trio of novellas (The Three Sunrises), a series of fever dream fables not to be missed.
