It looks like the chump book beat the chimp book into print, and the
chimp is not happy about it at all.
Having read the above title over the years
One has to wonder: Just how many years has the chimp been reading the
above title (Selected Poems 1976-2019)? I could have sworn that Will
came up with those particular dates only in 2019, but if the chimp says
he's been reading them for years, then it must be true, right?
(the supposed poems having been posted over and over for years on
Google's AAPC group) there is no need to shell out money to own what you >>>> can already read for free.
Now it is said that the 'collection' is a poetic remembrance from the
years 1976-2019.
It is? That must be in a review I missed, perhaps one from "Richard's
poetry group." We may get lucky and have the chimp post that for us,
too.
In fact it's a glossed over version as witnessed by reading his
auto-biography lingering on Dance the Editor's blog.
Nothing you read tells of the courtship and eventual marriage to a
pregnant young woman, nothing is mentioned of his acid trips, inviting >>>> her to 'trip' along, nothing mentioned of a girlfriend in one room with >>>> wife in another, making his way from bed to bed. Nothing tells of the
evictions, the lack of work, the drugs and booze until the young wife
fled, two children in tow.
He writes of the search for his beloved Lady K.(who ran away)when in
fact his search was short lived...hooking up when he could with others >>>> to warm his chair where he slept nights in a lumber mill.
He says little about living with his brother, living off the brother's >>>> disability checks, promoting god awful songs he cannot sing, a steady
job he doesn't seek.
True, the book contains none of the chimp's poems about Will Dockery;
and none of NastyGene's poems about Will; and not even any poems by PJ
Ross, or anyone else, about Will either. We included only poems by Will. >>>
That's a big void in the aapc literary output still to be chronicled. I
realize that the chimp is too busy, with his own 3-years-in the making
masterpiece to work on; but there's always the editor he tried to talk
Will into hiring for this book. That guy must have plenty of free time.
One can envision it now: "FAT," a companion volume to "FLOAT" - right
down to the similar artwork, but (of course) with the fetuses on the
cover having much bigger tummies.
The paperback is simply an ego stroke, one the author attempts on a
daily basis.
I could go on but will only add, save the money, get yourself a nice
coffee and roll, it will be much more satisfying in the long run.
And don't forget to save your pennies for FLOAT (and possibly FAT),
coming in 2020 - or not.
The 'poems' nothing more than scattered thoughts of a scattered life.

Well put, thanks again, George.
I love the way your crapbook is positioned in front of a copy of Vanity
Fair.
Is that supposed to be a subliminal admission that it's a Vanity press p.o.s.?

The Vanity Fair cover with Carrie Fisher on it is from 2017. Why does he
have that magazine?
Not only that, the book is being held up by a
bottle of hydrogen peroxide 3%. Classy touch. Is that xxxxxxxxxx drink
of choice now if he can't get free beer? Are the pink polka dot things Will's underwear?
