AN ALTERNATE REALITY WHERE MELLO YELLO IS MORE POPULAR THAN MTN DEW - Tecno-Libro

Christian Patterson (b. 1991, Auburn WA) . Multicolored clouds converging pyrotechnic arrows slamming into the chest an apology that no one hears Christian Patterson has crafted a strange kind of light orb that feels totally, 100% extraterrestrial. His poems oscillate between ego and id and disembodied bedroom and Taco Bell, and the whole time, it s like he s not even paying attention. He could be blindfolded. What an honor to be alive with these poems. -Luis Neer, author of Extinction Patterson s book comes from a world in which Berenstain Bears is spelled like Berenstein Bears and young people on drugs fear the sound of Beach House. .A map would depict an alternate version of pre-pangea in which Seattle and Seoul are nearly touching and there are 7-11s and Taco Bells on every block. in every parking lot, there is a blond girl experiencing a fresh sense loss. . -Shy Watson, author of Away Status
