J Andrew Schrecker: 2 books

Insomniacs compose grocery lists and manifestos, a phoenix lies charred in its own ashes, and shadows hide in corners, afraid of themselves. In this decade-spanning volume of poetry, J. Andrew Schrecker blends surrealism, observation, and personal confession to paint a portrait of heartache and longing in recession-torn America.

A minor celebrity clips his toenails in the Oval Office, a gnat ties a Christmas light to his back, and an imaginary friend watches on as a child outgrows him. In this anthology of poetry and prose, J. Andrew Schrecker once again delivers his unique blend of commentary, surrealism, and confession.
