“LIFE IS NOT A MISTAKE, MORE LIKE A MILLION CAR PILE-UP”

The Drunk Sonnets by Daniel Bailey is a book of sonnets in all caps, written drunk and edited sober. Death sentences by broccoli and merciful rivers and toys donated to the fire department. Plus lots of bodies and “rank 80-proof emotion” (sayeth K. Silem Mohammad). There are a few ways to get this book. First you can order it. Or, if you’re ambitious, you can film a drunk friend in a drunk situation reading one of the drunk sonnets drunkenly (you can find some here), and if you upload this video to a video-sharing site (you don’t have to be drunk when you do this) and email me about it (magichelicopter_at_gmail.com) I will send you a free one. Like Teddy here, right? Drunk videos, drunk sonnets, drunk <3.

Also, there are Daniel Bailey interviews all over and Daniel Bailey’s bathtub.

      That guy was drunk? He’s good when he’s drunk. I will give this a shot.

      I’m enjoying the book a lot.
