Reader's Note: Poetry and .epub formatting don't get along all the time; the optimal font settings for this ebook are the 3 smallest font sizes, especially poems that are not flush right to margins.
Beginning with a scene depicting Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn as cinematic sisters, Juicy Grenades' panorama flows from visceral chainsaw moments with Camel smoking woodcutters to Japanese dignity in the face of a shattering earthquake to vignettes of collapsing honeybees and peanut butter relay races. Juicy Grenades is not so much a chapbook of suburbia 'duds' or messy youth experiences as they explode on the thrower. More so, it is a mirage in the mind as it takes the reader's world-view in poems like Weltanschauung and clashes them with reality and melancholy, such as in Weltschmerz, and comes out through the other end sounding Walt Whitman's barbaric yawp over a new landscape.
