Alien Vs. Predator by Michael Robbins
Equal parts hip-hop, John Berryman and capitalism seeking death and not finding it, Robbins' poems are strange, wonderful and completely unlike anything else being written today. As elusive as the Cantos, as aggressive as a circular saw, this debut collection will offend none but the virtuous and is certain to receive an enormous amount of attention. A hilarious savage debut from an exciting fresh voice in poetry. Since his poems first began to appear in the pages of The New Yorker, there has been a lot of excited talk about the fresh and inventive work of Robbins.Michael Robbins was born and raised in rural Upstate New York. After attending SUNY Purchase and graduating with a BFA in photography he worked for the Adirondack Mountain Club for a few seasons. He built and maintained trails all over the ADKs and the Catskills, working at remote sites with only hand tools on everything from bridges to rock staircases. A largely self-taught woodworker, Robbins settled in the Hudson Valley and began developing his own furniture line. Currently, he operates his woodshop out of a former garment factory in Philmont, NY. An avid outdoorsman, when he's not in the shop building or photographing his own work Robbins is most likely out backpacking or skiing.
