...has been officially released!
My debut full-length poetry book published by Muumuu House in June, 2009.
selected blurbs:
"Gorrell's book is a thoughtful yet humorous collection of entertaining poems. [...] Makes me wish I had kept up with poetry writing." - Jeffrey Brown, author of CLUMSY
"Such hilarious, surprising, aphoristic poems. They do not stop at funny: they move into the territory of sad; the drab panic of daily life." - Deb Olin Unferth, author of VACATION and MINOR ROBBERIES
"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 a bus or something), but I read Brandon's book and enjoyed it a lot and felt excited." - Chris Killen, author of THE BIRD ROOM
"[The] Bret Easton Ellis for the Gmail chat generation." - The Pipeline
