Product Description

"When I finished reading Sometimes My Heart Pushes My Ribs I had to go to lunch with people in a restaurant with enormous beverages and misnamed sandwiches. I kept tapping my hand on the table and I didn t listen to anything anybody said. All I wanted to do was go home to read and write the kind of poetry Ellen Kennedy writes, declarative and nervous and wild and free. This is the sort of thing you want. This is the sort of book you should buy and you should buy it now instead of having lunch with those 'friends.' " - Daniel Handler, author of Adverbs

"She's in control of the power of the ordinary. The kind of poet you want to meet after reading." - David Ohle, author of Motorman and The Age of Sinatra

"...absurd...melancholic...feature[s] poems about nervousness, loneliness, Woody Allen, and Norm MacDonald." - Nylon Magazine

"The whole book made me want to type in lower-case letters and chase around aging icons of Hollywood, trying to f-ck them." - FREEwilliamsburg

"It's simply brilliant and funny and sad, but sweetly so." - Todd Colby, author of Tremble and Shine
