Laughing is Forever - Jason Stocks

Descriere Laughing is Forever - Jason Stocks

\nThese are the kind of tattered, beautiful poems I often search for and rarely find-the ones that explain, 'Just be happy with a beer after work. You know, quit all the complaining. It won't change a single thing. It just prolongs the suffering.' \n \n-Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of Death Prefers the Minor Keys\n \n \n \nStocks's writing has a powerful immediacy, and his poems are packed with both profanity and pop-culture references . . .\n \n-Kirkus Reviews\n \n \n\n \nThis collection is brave, unflinching and hits you like a punch in the jaw. It is at times brutal and vicious but also tender and intelligent. I was reminded of early Eminem in the poignant anger of some of the poems.\n \n-Sam Szanto, author of If No One Speaks\n \n \n \nJason Stocks is a writer and teacher living in south Florida. Before becoming a teacher, he worked in a chicken house, washed dishes, bagged groceries, waited tables, and sold cars. His first full-length poetry collection--Blameforest--was published in 2021 and was recently named a finalist in the 2024 American Legacy Book Awards for contemporary poetry. When not writing, he enjoys reading vintage YA horror, riding his Haro cruiser, and spending time with the family.\n
