In his debut collection, j.e.dante captures the relentless pull of the milling it over indefinitely. Lengthy Momentary Lapses on Purpose is a sharp, wry look at the human spectacle-from the visceral meat suits we inhabit to the beautiful pretension of art itself.
Drawing on the unflinching grit of Bukowski and the confessional intensity of Plath, these poems are for the overthinkers, the cynics, and the seekers. If your internal monologue is a constant battle between pride and existential dread, you'll find yourself on every page.
