"Reading this poetry collection is akin to being trapped in a funhouse that is no longer fun but deeply fascinating. So many of these poems need to be revisited in the coming months in order to unlock their full meaning. Fuck, this was great."

high praise from @gwoltjer.bsky.social

we couldn't have said it better ourselves

asterismbooks.com/product/disi...

Weird. Absurd. Introspective. Challenging. Hilarious. Gross. Intertextual. Wise. Idiotic. Phantasmagoric. Illuminating. Deranged. Unsettling. Cosmic.

These are only a few of the words I’ve used when describing this collection to my wife.

Her blank stare is the perfect response

huge if true

Really bad stock imagery of 'breaking news' with Kiik's book cover saying "Kiik's book is back in stock!"

pros of only releasing 1-2 books a year: sustainable, no burnout, bearable amount of work

cons of only releasing 1-2 books a year: if I find something else I want to release, it won't come out until 2028
