Poetry. Brandon Scott Gorrell's debut full-length poetry book captures the feelings of small, alienated, and highly self-conscious humans who exist in an array of situations, from a very odd Halloween party to a full-scale planetary war involving humans, androids, robots, and aliens. Focusing on severe feelings of low self-worth, meaninglessness, and yearning for something unknown, Brandon Scott Gorrell--who has generated a large internet following of disenchanted youths--uses predominantly science fiction imagery in direct, deadpan prose to describe humans in need of meaning that they feel hopeless to attain. "I like these poems. I really do. They made me laugh"--Matthew Rohrer. Brandon Scott Gorrell was born in 1984 and lives in Seattle. His blog is at brandon.alien.fine.blogspot.com.

    Do people like Tao Lin and Brandon Scott Gorrell lose their street cred if someone above the age of 25 gives them a favorable review? If so, I'm totally sorry, dude. You're the person I wanted to be w...

    So let's get this out of the way now. I didn't realize I was reading a book of poetry until I got to about page 12. I say this because whenever I read 'normal' poems, I feel like it's a chore, like my...

    Gorrell's book is a thoughtful yet humorous collection of entertaining poems that fits perfectly with publisher MuuMuu House, run by writer Tao Lin. It's a certain style of poetry that I would try to ...

    Muumuu House has provided a venue for the community of emotive bloggers-turned-poets. Think of Megan Boyle or Tao Lin, or those related indie publishers touting Sam Pink or Carlton Mellick III. On one...
