"This book is a party in poetry, a wry, sly burst of beauty, attitude and art. Pisarra crosses from introspection to extroversion, always gazing through the lens of creative license, insight, wit and love.

"-Monica Drake, The Folly of Loving Life"This collection is a tour-de-force as the poetry flows with theatrical bravura and the narratives explode with erotic obsession (and poignancy). With this work, Pisarra has created a fearlessly inventive “cinephrastik,” a lyrical homage to a major filmmaker from the 20th century.

"-Regie Cabico, A Rabbit in Search of a Rolex"In Pisarra’s Fassbinder, the psyche is set free, punching its way through a paper partition, holding a bouquet of fluorescent daffodils. Here is a poet unafraid.

Here is a poet who frames stanzas like a cinematographer would. Here is a poet who can light a match with his teeth.

Listen to the sound of a camera clicking behind each chiseled line—listen and watch out!"-Julie Poole, Bright Specimen"Drew Pisarra wonderfully reverses the set-up: 'This film is based on a true story' is now 'These poems are based on true films. ' I enjoyed every poem.
