Poetry has the power to touch our hearts, stir our souls, and expand our minds. It can titillate our senses in beautiful ways to bring us to the depths of sadness or the heights of elation. A great poem can be a transcendental, life-changing experience. Our poems? These ones here? They're fine. Good, even. I dunno, I like 'em. Collected from years of offbeat writing practice and the occasional weird brain worm that demanded something be done with it, Word Garbage is the culmination of two authors' repeated forays into a medium of which the biggest draw (for them) is its experimental nature. What follows inside are some of the results of these experiments. These unsanctioned, mad, literary science experiments. Some are quirky. Some are funny. Some are funny on purpose. Some are attempts to reach deep down into our hearts and drag out the things we were feeling at the time, pinning them down with words like so many dead butterflies. Some are mandatory homework assignments that we felt had a measure of value outside of the classes that birthed them. At least one is about marshmallows - unless that one's a metaphor for something else. So whether you love poetry, hate poetry, don't understand poetry, or just want to show off to your friends that you're the kind of astute intellectual reader who owns poetry books, come take a dumpster dive into our mind trash, because our Word Garbage will definitely have something that appeals to you. Probably. No refunds.
