"hilariously spunky... no-nonsense poetry." Jennifer Dunning, The
New York Times "Sometimes you plod through the day, bumping into
people, tripping over your own feet. But then there are those
remarkable days when you move through the world as stealthly as
ninja. The latter is how the poems move in this book. Cristin
O'Keefe Aptowicz spits in her hands, grabs the sledgehammer, swings
it hard, and rings that bell in poem after poem after poem.
Everything is Everything is a winning collection chock full of
swift, honest, smart, funny, and even tender poems that go up to
11." Jennifer Knox, author of Drunk by Noon "Cristin O'Keefe
Aptowicz admits it herself-she's "a fool for the poetry." And I
take her at her word. In the Tarot, the fool is wise and exuberant,
mystical, clever, tuned into the world. In Everything is
Everything, Aptowicz is indeed the divine fool, traveling her
United States of Poetry and beyond. She is a poet of Americana-dead
presidents (both the leaders and the money), ambitions big and
small, ancient history trivia and pop culture, animals, children,
impersonators and authenticity. Aptowicz's poems are animated,
brimming with celebration. Everything is Everything is a stunning
and dazzling book." Denise Duhamel, author of Ka-Ching! In her
fifth collection of poetry, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz polishes her
obsessions until they gleam. Whether she is exhuming the bizarre
("Cryptozoology" and "A Short History of Unusual Fish"), exorcising
her demons, ("Hog Butcher of Workshop Table" and "On Why I
Shouldn't Read Books") or celebrating the uncelebrated oddballs of
the world ("Little Heard True Stories of Benjamin Franklin" and
"Crack Squirrels"), Aptowicz's poetry sings and singes. Everything
is Everything illuminates the dark corners of the curiosity
cabinet, shining the light on everything that is utterly strange,
wonderfully absurd and 100% true.
