Sweet Nothing

"The only person more dangerous than a dark-hearted man is a dark-hearted man on a sunny day." — Melissa Broder

"These poems go one word, one greeting, one feeling to the next. They were written particularly for all of us. They call us to action — to poems of our own and more importantly to HUMAN BEING yesterday, tomorrow, and right now — however difficult it may be, whatever the cost, with joy at the prospect of making a connection." — Matt Hart from Publishers Weekly:

"In his fifth collection, Pritts strives for a poetry of urgency-"I know there's something/ I want desperately/ to say/ so I'm saying it"- his poems hint at what's at stake when Pritts assembles them into the erratic and formless lines that propel the collection, recalling the rapid-fire lines of Ted Berrigan. In these moments, the poems, having sloughed off their linguistic winks and nods, arrive at a place of vulnerability and sincerity."
