Mike Young on Life

". . . it is only through insistent and rigorous realization of the inherent strangeness in all the accommodation we call life--not just select and cute defamiliarization here and there--that life keeps rebecoming rich and sweet."

from Mike Young's WE ARE ALL GOOD IF THEY TRY HARD ENOUGH

Here is a line from the first poem in Mike Young's book, which will be released by Publishing Genius in June 2010:

Feelings are expensive greeting cards.
You buy them several times a year and wonder:
how does the hologram work?

I love it.
