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. Ralston                                      Miami University

Little Human Accidents: Chaos Poems from the Brink

Marbut, Damon Ferrell

<p>I WALKED UP BEHIND GOD AND STUCK A SIGN ON HIS BACK. IT SAID "FREE WILL," OR "KICK ME." The government is taxing your dreams and moments are being captured and held against their will. Murphy’s Law is suspended pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge; a best-selling author writes and publishes the same novel fifteen times without anyone catching on, and all of humanity is put into receivership over a missing cup of coffee. Andrew J. Simpson's debut anthology is a highly creative journey through the world of the surreally real. Savour the fantastical and the mundane, every nuance and notion that makes up The Big Picture.</p>

The Big Picture

Simpson, Andrew J.

BEWARE: Wayne F. Burke and his Words that Burn is not only poetry, its arson. A combustible collection of poetry that will fry anyone's imagination: jails, arrests, a bad childhood, and life in the raw. Words that Burn is a brutally honest evisceration of one man's experience of life on this planet written with verve and the unadorned yet eloquent language of where the poet came from.

Words that Burn

Burke, Wayne F.

Life in the French Quarter of New Orleans is bar life, the quintessential stage setting for unfolding dramas, dark truths and chaos borne of excess. In Human Crutches, Damon Ferrell Marbut tells this story with remarkable generosity and skill, providing an inside study of local lifestyle in a great American city. Often humorous and sometimes vulgar, the poems are piercing, honest and layered with urban Southern affect as endearing as it is frightful. "Damon Marbut's poetry takes readers straight into the veins of French Quarter life, shows them every pitiful and chaotic beauty, and leaves them aching between dissonant states of joy and revulsion toward the bawdy cast of characters he meets along the way. He combines the unflinching madness of Beat poet storytelling with a resolute dedication to truth and terrifying purity. With every snapshot of human desolation and redemption, Marbut exposes the broken pieces inside us all." ~ A. Meagan Davis Not since Eugene O'Neill have we met so many lost, disillusioned and  downright funny souls in one single saloon. Damon Ferrell Marbut's Human  Crutches is a veritable village of monologists certain to move you, piss you off, and leave you in laughter or sadness.                                                                    ~Felice  Picano
