About the event
"Spare, haunting, and wry, Zombie Vomit Mad Libs does not fuck around. These poems exist on the razor-thin edge that divide the states of waking and sleep, of being high and sober, of living and not living: 'the breath / you take as you cross over into sleep.' This is a brilliant mind at work, culling the expanse of human creation—from Shakespeare to Pokémon to the iPhone—to wrestle with deadly serious themes of suicide, imperialism, love, and loss. Tightly crafted gems that flirt, rage, and sing in multiple dictions and registers, Doan's poems will leave you devastated, changed."
—Tamiko Beyer, author of Last Days
