Minges’ work is a force of grief that leaves nothing out, from extinct internet message boards to taco places to pool halls, from Rimbaud and Keats to Sartre and Spider-Man. Through constant rain, plumbing disasters and sleeplessness, Minges pays respect to tradition while firmly rooting us in a syrupy and momentumless present. Exhausted, surreal, sarcastic, and musical, these poems interrogate reality, philosophy, art, and the self with a voice that rejects easy answers and meanders instead toward the possibility of song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Like icarus on a fucked VHS, our speaker flies, approaches the sun, blinks, and finds himself imprisoned once more, dreaming of escape and speaking it into existence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—Briel Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNick Minges lives in Sacramento, California.
