HAIR SHIRT, Adrian Sobol’s second full-length poetry collection, continues his particular take on poetry. Filled with trademark black humor and absurdity, these poems transport you to a world full of stand-up-performing ghosts, invincible donkeys, surrealist torch songs, murderous priests, horses that execute criminals with math, the bittersweet beauty of the midwest, and—arguably—too much sea. Through a variety of characters, scenarios, and lyrical deftness, HAIR SHIRT offers poems for those who have ever felt intense regret, got drunk on longing, and wondered what art could be found in a life surrounded by such existential debris.
