Description

The World Is a Heartbreaker inaugurates a new subgenre: imposter poetry.

This collection is a set of 1600 pseudohaikus, bite-sized chunks of poetic goodness shotgunned at the distracted masses. What's a pseudohaiku? It's the poetry of pure indulgence, a three-liner without the constraint, the pretension or the 5--7--5 syllable form.

The subject matter? Relationships, cats, insecurities -- themes recur and build into a kind of non-linear narrative. These micropoems are easily digestible yet remarkably acute, a catalogue of scattered thoughts and pointed observations that go down like potato chips -- betcha can't read just one. Sometimes sexy, sometimes scandalous, sometimes sentimental, but always three lines long, these pseudohaikus are the future of poetry in a world awash with sound bites, news clips, catchphrases.

There are no pleasures like the guilty ones.
