Hum of the universe
I’m trying to sleep
150 extraordinary short lyrics which build a kind of meta-narrative throughout this haunting and powerful book. This collection showcases Beckman’s ability, even within the constraints of a few brief lines, to suggest and sustain emotions, landscapes, humor, and desire. -
Beckman writes in much the same way that the book asks to be read—flipped through and glanced at, pieces missed and then discovered in a third or fourth reading, the whole collection a new thing every time you pick it up.
Olivia Cronk, Bookslut
Notes, memos, idioms, all cobbled into short short poems packaged in a tiny, beautiful book. A record of a hot, sad summer, these are lines for every day – flippant, needless, transcendent.
Brian Foley, HTMLGiantBrevity is the soul of wit. You've heard that before. These poems by Joshua Beckman are soulful, witty, and brief.
Steve Potter, The Wandering Hermit Review
