Rebecca's Reviews > What Ridiculous Things We Could Ask of Each Other: Poems

I enjoyed these poems set in a seemingly post-apocalyptic urban wasteland. They’re full of black humor, sarcasm and realistically pessimistic views of the American future. They’re very densely structured, usually in complete sentences of free verse. Schultz might have changed up the length and format a bit more. Also, I didn’t particularly care for his habit of including himself as a character in the poems’ titles, as in “J. Resists the Urge to Comment on Your Blog.”

Favorite line: “try to shake this suspicion that God’s / fallen asleep in the projection booth.”
