Cleverly sardonic with righteous fluidity, he unpacks the frame- work of what is necessary to reflect on: Western culture symbolizing the Ouroboros. The agroecological descendants strutting with pride and constructing passionate, and almost primitive identities. Political dependency breeding dehuman- ization, yet the next round's on you to honor kept company. Brewer appraises "weighing the stars" as an anecdotal process while nodding to the culture jammers. It is a jolt-wrung declaration to "the tough love motherfuckers, full of backbone & bite."

These pieces, which jump around, using both elements of his life, as well as the culture we all have to swim in, be it pop or otherwise. is full of both regret and hope and music, it has a life of its own, a life that is both relatable, and private, one that Brewer is asking his readers to tap into and to bear witness, with each poem-offering another chance to begin again." -John Dorsey, Author of
