Abstract
How does the reality of our psyche shape the “reality” that we experience? A reality, let’s
note, “which now includes 65% more sawdust/ 89% beef and 12% “signature recipe”:/
one-night stand behind the garbage/ paprika, torula yeast, and lactic acid. “How can I
help you?” is the question, and “— cheese dip .75 plus tax” is the answer. Through the
unconventional lens of game instructions, meeting notes, quizzes, and math equations,
this collection of poetry explores mental illness, disability, sex, religion and race.
Eccentric and calculated, No Nickel in That Dime seeks to remove the masks we wear
every day and to reveal an authentic truth.
