Now she is a writer and a student pilot, though in the past she has been a magician’s assistant, a baker, an extra in a few movies, and a licensed artist in New Orleans’ French Quarter as well as a soldier in this girl’s U.S. Army.

Some Assembly Required

by Brett Hursey

WHAT SOME NOTABLE PEOPLE AREN'T SAYING
ABOUT SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED:

Rita Dove: It made my cat's head hurt.
George W. Bush: It was like a good pretzel.
Mark Strand: Brett Hursey has produced a first-class beer coaster.
Saddam Hussein: And people call me a criminal.
Robert Pinsky: Compelling evidence that America needs free prescription drugs.
Henry Kissinger: Proof that poetry can be as deadly as anthrax.
George Bush Sr.: It made George junior's lips move.a lot.
Billy Collins: Great bathroom reading - especially if you don't have a bathroom.

Yet, flying in the face of the fictitious commentary by these shamelessly misquoted critics, Some Assembly Required actually does feature Academy of American Poets and National AWP Journal Award-winning poetry that originally appeared in journals such as Amherst Review, Black Warrior Review, The Chattahoochie Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, Mississippi Valley Review, Puerto del Sol and The Red Cedar Review. So find out why, when asked to comment on the literary merit of Some Assembly Required, novelist John Steinbeck proclaimed, "Brett who?"
