The Angel in The Dream of Our Hangover: Aphorisms
The Angel in The Dream of Our Hangover Aphorisms Author:Mark Leidner Ken, the publisher, here. I couldn't be more thrilled to make this book flesh. This collection of aphorisms contains so much poetry and passion and deep thinking, I've been caught by single pages for hours. This book is sharp, funny, tragic, irreverent, wise. All beauty. It puts fire in me. I invite you to enjoy that fire, too. It is refreshing... more » and exhilarating to read a poet this sincere, this demanding and lucid in his aspirations toward art and his analyses of our time.
-Publishers Weekly Mark Leidner is a poet and my favorite person on Twitter, just a constant source of amazing little images and aphorisms. I've read this book straight through beginning to end once each night since I got it last week.
-Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day If I had to a select a celestial pilot to steer this sandwich shoppe called America into the sun, it'd be Lodewyk van Berquem of Brugge, Belgium, who invented diamond cutting. The co-pilot would be Mark Leidner. I am in love with him as a human.
-Blake Butler, author of Nothing: A Portrait of Insomnia and There Is No Year Such a truly lovely book in all respects.
