About Whiskey & Robots
Whiskey & Robots is a .44 magnum pointed at the heart of unreadable poetry. No more highbrow than superhero comics and as interesting as the Sears and Roebuck catalog; there are no pretentious literary allusions, metaphors, or analogies. If you like nitro-burning funny cars, oversized Japanese movie monsters, and the helmetless era of hockey, this book is for you.
