“Stripling writes lust, love, loneliness, joy, and personal anecdote with an effervescence, an unmistakably fizzy language that delights and throws its reader into a fit of glee and contemplation simultaneously.”

“You don’t have to know Bill Murray to love the poems in this collection – they are smoky rooms and sweet vermouth, words on diner napkins and lipstick kisses. They are cool to the touch, easy to get lost in.”

– Carlotta Eden, co-founder & editor, Synaesthesia Magazine
