it amazes me that we’re finally here. my 33rd poetry album, “poems for the club,” is finally yours. this is the poetry album i’ve been wanting to write for so long now; for at least the last year, i’ve wanted to create a project that disconnects a bit from more “personal” poetry and instead features more fictional work with a focus on storytelling. and i’ve certainly done that on some projects, but i’d never been able to put it all together for the duration of a full-length album. but now, i finally have, and i couldn’t be happier. as mentioned, this is an entirely fictional album, but unlike previous fictional albums that told one overarching narrative that stretched from poems 1 through 10, each poem on this album tells a different story with a different set of characters. there’s a solid range of tones and ideas throughout, and even a few twists here and there. this project took months to write, but i’m so happy to have finally gotten to the finish line with it. i hope you enjoy reading these poems as much as i enjoyed writing them. it’s a blessing that any of you stop by at any point to read these things, and i hope i can continue to make you proud:
1. rigor mortis
2. right all along
3. light pack
4. damn, that’s crazy. anyway…
5. vsco girls
6. buried alive
7. the boogeyman
8. donuts for dinner
9. life of the party
10. your best friend
11. before your eyes (bonus track)
