How Not to Be a Bestseller is a genre-defying poetry collection that fractures the self into archetypes-the poet, the comic, and the survivor-each navigating a body and mind shaped by chronic illness and emotional trauma. Finn Mott weaves a raw, unflinching tapestry of identity, displacement, and defiance, blending memoir, verse, and stand-up. Vulnerable, raunchy, and unapologetically twisted, How Not to Be a Bestseller is part personal exorcism, part cultural reckoning. It spirals through three looping narratives of grief, slipping between forms and voices in a language that disintegrates as it tries to contain pain. This is the kitchen sink approach reimagined-chaotic, desperate, deeply human. Mott doesn’t just tell a story-he commodifies the self to critique the very systems demanding that commodification. What’s left is a brutal, beautiful exploration of what it means to live in a body, perform survival, and sell one’s pain.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
