Masuda has the eye of a sociologist and the heart of a missionary and the cynicism of a drug dealer and the compassion of a father. He is a major new voice in American poetry and the subject of an upcoming documentary film for Bob Bryan's "Graffiti Verite" series. Reading this collection is the literary equivalent of riding a rollercoaster through the LA riots. With surprising tenderness and empathy, Masuda's work examines poverty, prejudice, addiction and the search for meaning and self. This is an audacious debut by a gifted writer. Buy this book immediately. You will not be disappointed.

I've been reading Johnny's work for over a year now and have encouraged him from the very start to get published. He is one of THE best poets I've ever read. I've seen his work called 'Ginsberg-esque' and I have to agree...it's gutsy, ballsy.....he writes about things that we can all identify with, things we've all thought but were maybe too afraid to verbalize.

Johnny Masuda's work is a lush oasis in a desert of dry literature. I highly recommend this book.....
