This is Sam Pink's new book, No One Can Do Anything Worse to You than You Can. It consists of four lengthy poems, all of which are fantastic and delicious. I have been wanting a Sam Pink tattoo since I started reading his books and this cover is really well done, but I would get it sans the butterflies because butterflies are downright queer.

 Here's an excerpt from the poem A Shield Made of Napkins. "I see other people and wonder if they've had the exact same thoughts as me and if so, would that be better or worse than otherwise. I see other people and have no thoughts. The worst feeling is hearing someone else express a thought you wish wasn't true but have already accepted. Money. Shit. BB gun. Death. Unmarked grave in the woods."
