No Great Shakes is the second offering of poetry by Canadian writer, Hank Ferragudo. Served up like a mix-tape gumbo, the collection veers from the intrinsically intimate to the ridiculously fictional – and everywhere in between. Observation & longing, love, lust & sex, betrayal & depression, recognition, acceptance & aspiration (and the COVID-19 pandemic); marinated with a bittersweet beauty. Poetry written outside of the world of social media likes & influence. *Mature readers only. Social Media Darling

I couldn’t worry that my lines ran longer than 3 to 5 and wouldn’t fit on a throw cushion in a nice suburban home or laid out over pink sunsets on Instagram spouting platitudes, gratitude(s), AFFIRMATIONS empower meant or LOVE because they were never about The Medium or The Audience other than the bastard I watch brushing his teeth most days.
