DURING MY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I WANT TO HAVE A BIOGRAPHER PRESENT can be ordered by using the Paypal drop-down menu at the top of my blog. All orders placed before today have already been shipped.DURING MY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I WANT TO HAVE A BIOGRAPHER PRESENT is an 88-page paperback poetry book, featuring, as it's themes, alienation, sarcasm, loneliness, beauty, the apocalypse, and science fiction.
Readers, I think, will find this book 'startlingly' new, containing concepts, levels of certain feelings, and expressions of emotions in a style that I feel does not exist in the majority of the work I currently have published on the internet.
Here are blurbs for the book:
"I like these poems. I really do. They made me laugh," - Matthew Rohrer, author of A GREEN LIGHT and RISE UP
"I feel lonely, and while I'm lonely, reading this book makes me feel less lonely." - Noah Cicero, author of THE HUMAN WAR and TREATISE
"I have been going through a thing lately of not feeling like I want to read, unless I 'have to' (like I'm on the bus or something), but I read Brandon's book and enjoyed it a lot and felt excited." - Chris Killen, author of THE BIRD ROOM.
"Brandon's first poetry book feels to me like 'a classic.' It seems to exhibit the 'high-quality' versions of meaningless, irony/sarcasm, and depression that I seem to 'crave' in literature, and I anticipate rereading it maybe 10-30 more times in my life (think I've reread it 3-7 times 'already'). I also anticipate regularly referring to Brandon's first poetry book in conversations with people, or with myself, in my head, for the next 1-30 years. In my view, based on what I know about the following things, 'new levels' of tone, sarcasm, meaninglessness, 'feeling bad,' and self-awareness have been conveyed by Brandon in his first poetry book." - Tao Lin, author of EEE EE EEEEE and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

I recieved the book today along with a copy of GREAT and read them both sitting in Westlake Square on my lunch break. I was rarely distracted, except for when a homeless person walked very close to me and said something delphic in my ear. The return address on the envelope made me feel like we had abused the postal system or wasted money or both. Thank you.
Got the book in the mail today too, as well as Great! I'm very excited to read it all, and I have to say I like your handwriting. Hand-addressed envelopes are much more exciting/human than the boxes I get from Amazon.
Brandon, I received your book the other day. I read it today (I got Ellen's first and felt I should read them in chronological order) and now I feel really good having read it. I feel like you're more of a person than just an "Internet person" to me now. The poems are really good. I'm not a "poetry person" but both yours and Ellen's book have made me a "poetry appreciating person" and I'm thankful for that.
Good luck on your West Coast reading tour.
