Human Tetris

Book co-wrote with Vi Khi Nao | Publisher: Press 11:11

A cross between the genre of newspaper personals and the self-display of online dating, Human Tetris comprises a series of calls for lovers: whimsical, serious, mournful, thirsty, trite, and true. Written as a collaboration between two very different voices, with each entry addressed not to but through the other, Human Tetris is an obviously personal project that seeks not so much connection as an understanding of the shape of desire.

PRAISE FOR HUMAN TETRIS

“These poems are clever meals, feeding us the jumpy truth about our inner longings.”– Raluca Albu, Bomb Magazine

“Tender word orgy, prickly song, mesmerizing game, thrilling voice of multiples.” – Nathaniel Popkin, Cleaver Magazine

“Human Tetris catalogues kinks into an abundance so normal that poetry wins as ultimate release valve.” – Ariel Goldberg, Author of The Estrangement Principle

“Human Tetris is as complex as anything either writer has accomplished and impossibly more so” – Grant Maierhofer, Author of Peripatet and Drain Songs

“Human Tetris is a building lattice of interlocking online identities, exposing themselves at all times yet still coming off as detached by sheer geography, sheer facelessness, sheer screenname anonymity.” – Dylan Krieger, Author of Giving Godhead and The Mother Wart

“These poems are an earnest reminder of how extravagantly weird any honest self-portrait should be” – Carrie Lorig, Author of The Pulp vs. The Throne
