In Isobel Irons' vaguely anticipated poetry debut, I HOPE YOU CHOKE, she serves up a hot, steaming pile of lukewarm prose, generous helpings of angsty commentary on love and loss–but mostly, the loss of love–and irreverent, violently funny poetry that will horrify your mother's book club.
If you've ever been dumped, divorced, cuckolded, fired, "let go," ditched, frozen out, left, cheated on, or even mildly inconvenienced by the last-minute loss of a prom date, this book is for you.
Sample:
(from the LAUGH section)
"BASIC BRO"
You call yourself a “beer connoisseur”
But when no one is looking
You drink Pabst Blue Ribbon.
You’re basic, Bro.
You cheer for the Giants
But only because you secretly think
You look better in blue.
You’re what is loosely referred to as an “unimpressive man,” or “Basic Bro.”
Your favorite band
Used to be The Black Keys
But you won’t listen to them since they “sold out.”
Sorry Bro, but you basic.
You broke up with me and
Immediately changed your relationship status
On Facebook.
You’re hella basic, Bro.
