The Book of Boozy Heartbreak Verse Samuel James O'Brien

2017. Fifth collection. 53 poems. Perhaps these poems should never have seen the light of day. Perhaps they should never have been withheld as long as they were. Regardless, here they are. The poems in this collection were written under heavy influence and over a long period of time as the titular heartbreak ran its course. The author describes the resulting collection as "like a pretty scab or scar." He refused the chance to elaborate.
