"Jeff Latosik's Tiny, Frantic, Stronger is infested with cockroaches, silverfish, wit and sharp turns. Watch where you're going: Some of his lines broaden into fields; others are trap doors." --Sarah Lindsay, author of Mount Clutter and Twigs & Knucklebones -- "These poems are chock-full of playful, irreverent humour, but beneath that humour is an insistent search for understanding. As strange and delightfully surprising as these poems often are, they are also intimate and vulnerable - a rare achievement in a debut collection. Jeff Latosik's is a fresh new voice." --Adam Sol, author of Crowd of Sounds and Jeremiah, Ohio -- In Tiny, Frantic, Stronger, Jeff Latosik considers states of durability and longevity in an age of ephemeral mores and instant gratification. Probing the pressure points where notions of physical, psychological, and technological strength continually threaten to erupt into their opposites, these poems ask which aspects of our daily lives might actually last beyond the here and now. beyond their own inherent limitations of time, person, and place. --Book Jacket.
