Maybe the Saddest Thing

"These are wide-ranging Whitmanesque poems--self-aware meditations that rap and jazz their way forward, talk back, backtrack, and scratch so hard they blow out the speakers with their complicated love for a huge cast of icons, from Pam Grier to Flavor Flav, from RuPaul to Dave Chapelle."
--Erika Meitner

"Keats, too, would have admired the holy truth of Marcus Wicker, whose lyric wizardry astounds the ear."
--D.A. Powell
