Now that there’s a new Bowery Poetry Club and new Bowery Poetry imprint at The Operating System, we better have some new poems. And poems just don’t get newer, fresher, or more timely than Patrick Roche’s simple explosions. ‘An Exercise in Necromancy’ is the New Confessional - direct, unflinching, pure. Ah yes. ‘Watch me fight and watch me fight and watch me fight and watch me fight/And watch me kiss this city back so hard it never stops shining.’
- Bob Holman
