"If you're interested in confronting an inheritor of subtle surrealism and magical Beat writing you need to read Mush by Brett Lars Underwood. He's a great St Louis fixture and his writing possesses that rare quality: it's fun. Whether he's channeling Dylan Thomas or Cummings with his original wordplay you can count on the fact that the poems will be discursive and bawdy. Buy this one!"
