Young Thing flips back through an album of memories and re-writes these formative moments into tragicomic prose poems — exploring these times, and the work it takes to leave them behind. By playing with structure, language, and memory, this collection asks if we can unlearn what we were raised to be.Includes original photographs by Alex Brook Lynn“Stay up late reading and rereading Bialecki till your pulse beats behind your eyeballs. These poems are flash exorcisms (sometimes flashy) of airports and beds from the turn of the century that ultimately extend fathomless grace.” – Mara Faye Lethem"In these poems, Bialecki sifts through the wreckage of early adulthood — addiction, romance, exile, return — with a diaristic candor that refuses to flatter or excuse. The collection is a coming-of-age for a generation raised on Cosmopolitan tips, narcotized by pills, and still trying to find a language equal to their hungers. Young Thing makes vivid just how memory itself becomes a kind of narcotic — addictive, corrosive, impossible to quit." – Brandon Harris“Reading this book inspires us to live our lives with our emotional radar aiming at intellectual and spiritual or metaphysical heights only we ourselves can reach through ruthless revision, not only of the poems themselves but of ourselves.” – Malik Ameer CrumplerSimply can't wait?
