Sizzle Eric Burger

Oh man, this is a good one. The 19 scenarios in Eric Burger's Sizzle, a finalist for the 2022 NMP/DIAGRAM Chapbook Competition, are wild and odd, funny, lovely, weird. Reading these prose poems, one gets the feeling of punching through the veil between the everyday real and whatever's underneath it, some darkness, some language, much stranger. Ghosts, burning girls, strange beasts, dusk tunnels, holographic universes, goat people, circus freaks, sky piranhas, and mysterious spirals: this book brings the noise.
