In these pages, mustaches become milestones, doors suffer existential crises, tigers fall in love, and even a stray hair in a bowl of soup can unfold into something strangely triumphant.Melsen writes with equal affection for the ridiculous and the devastating, moving seamlessly between playful imagination and intimate confession. The result is a collection that is funny, strange, vulnerable, and unmistakably human.These poems invite readers to laugh, reflect, and sometimes cry… though perhaps not because of the onion.
