HOW TO FORGET THE PAST

Drink lots of coffee, stay up all night drinking whiskey, wake up very early and start all over again.

More things said about the debut Andy Riverbed collection, Damaged, available to pre-order here.

"DAMAGED is a document of Andy Riverbed's trip through time.

Luckily for us, he's got his notebook
I can picture its stained pages
his pluma
property of ____________

He's dealing with it as he gets it all down in DAMAGED, his new chapbook of poetry from Coatlism Press.

He's taking good notes and writing great poems.

He knows where the beauty hides."

- J. D. Nelson

And don't forget what has already been said:

"A lot in here—a little hipster chill, bicultural gape, a slight narcotic slur. Andy Riverbed comes to his aphorisms honestly. His stuff sticks around. Nice drawings. Nice words."

-Jacob McArthur Mooney, author of The New Layman's Almanac.

"Big balls; a little nuts. Reminds me of a young Cortazar. Riverbed is the most original writer I know of under the age of 25."

- Matt DiGangi, head editor of the Thieves' Jargon.
