Scribner, 2004
brilliant, poignant and deliciously clever.

Hard Core Skateboarding, Punk, and Hip-Hop - the classics!

I had to write this review because no other Amazon customers have given
this book the review it deserves (other than the press reviews). This
book is unbelievable, if for nothing else, just for the sheer volume of
Hardcore Punk, Hardcore Hip Hop legends, Hardcore
Skateboarding (much Dogtown), ...

Fuck You-Aloha-I Love You (Wesleyan Poetry Series) 4 reviews Juliana Spahr
Wesleyan, 2001
very very goo
This book moved me deeply - I was shattered by some of the symbolism and eclliptic narrative. As an eldery grandmother, I was particularly touched by the 'Older woman' piece; it quite took me back to my younger days! I highly recommend this thoughtful and pervocative work.

I was traveling quite a bit for work while reading this and found myself not being able to ...
