Aaron Lowinger | Open Night
SOLD OUT
Aaron Lowinger's Open Night decks the halls with odes for and from the night, ringing the bell as TRANSMISSION numero ocho. This book goes very well with PBR, Bruce Springsteen records and insomnia. This book is full of poems you'll want to copy in yr own handwriting, pass off to a loved one and tell them you wrote it for them.
So, down to the BRASS TACS, my friends! John McCain would NOT like this book! So you should BUY IT now while the gettin's still plenty good. This book is 34 pages, staplebound, letterhalf in size and printed on 100% recycled paper (as was requested by the author). Cover artwork is by Becky Moda. After buying this book, put on some headphones, perhaps The Replacements, perhaps you can skip to the song Kiss Me On the Bus, then you can get on a bus and read this book and find someone to kiss. That's what you should do with this book.

open night
I don’t complain about weather
not on a night like this
the tree bugs sing louder than people
and all that means I’m full
I’m tired I’m overslept overtired
outdreamed undertaken bifurcated
and it’s almost night
my cell phone is still warm
I’ll put my head down
and drive out to Amherst
someone might give me a job
and then I might have money
the sky’s the limit
I’m looking at every car I see
tonight I can drive anything
be anything burn anything
swim the highway
shoot the dark blue slice
the sky between branches
water for head
