Hooligans

Hooligans is the fifth full-length poetry book by Toronto writer Lillian Necakov. It is a collection about genocide, hope, regret, and a man who ate his shoe; about a discarded subway token, curbside anticipation, the power of fire, divided memories; about the symptoms and shenanigans of daily life on one dot of a large globe. In Hooligans, Necakov extends her reach from the surreal and personal into areas of science and mathematicsNand even there, she reaches deep into the human psyche and pulls out something startling.
