James Jay's first book of poetry and winner of the Sashimi Literary Prize from Gorksy Press.
Price: $10
"Chock-full of spectacle, drama, and scrupulous technique, James Jay's The Undercards is a veritable W.W.E. in verse. Its cast of stooges, high-flyers, and maulers will, by turn, make you guffaw out loud, gasp with awe, groan with grief. This book puts the smack-down on poetry." - Jim Simmerman, author of Kingdom Come
"At work or at the matches, walking the mesas or brawling on barroom floors, James Jay's poetry grabs you by the lapels and softly whispers in your ear an offer you can't refuse: listen, you got a minute? sit down, can I buy you a drink? That's not to say these poems aren't smart; they're beat-smart & crafty, particular & cinematic; but better than clever, they're tough & sweet, tender & true: earthy, gutty, full of heart & sweat & fear. These are poems you feel. Fuck the title holders (the game is rigged). My money is on The Undercards." - Mark Gibbons, author of Connemara Moonshine
