Little Human Accidents: Chaos Poems from the Brink Damon Ferrell Marbut

Damon Ferrell Marbut devastates the notion of apology in poetry with a tender recklessness in Little Human Accidents, poems that examine a personal evolution of sexuality and identity while treating the unavoidable step towards adulthood like a punching bag, especially in his free flowing self reflexive poems like Mornings Like This and So What. "There is a kind of perfect combination of fragility and intensity in Damon Ferrell Marbut's poetry that sneaks up on you as it builds. Like a prize fighter who waits for the right moment to knock the breath out of you, Marbut's poems are part awe, part intimidation, and all heart. Brace yourself for this collection." ~ Dr. Devon F.
