Ah, high literary culture. Who doesn’t love it? The crisp smell of leatherbound books, the soft creak of an uncracked spine, the feeling of superiority over those idiots who\u00a0just don’t get poetry, you know?<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This may be an unpopular statement, but here goes: I actually like poetry. Thanks to my largely useless English degree, I was exposed to a lot of it and have spent more hours than I’d care to mention decrypting whatever T.S. Eliot was farting out while high on opium, or whatever [citation needed].<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise, then, when learning that Neurosis<\/strong> visual collaborator Pete Inc. had both completed and published a collection of original poetry. “This will be a match made in heaven,” I declared to myself, wrong beyond the pathetic capacity of mere words to convey. The first sign was that the book was titled Tales from Nantucket.\u00a0<\/em>It shouldn’t take a Master’s in English lit to tell you that yes, this dude wrote a book of fucking limericks. As if the existence of Dropkick Murphys<\/strong> wasn’t enough of a stain on the collective Irish conscience.<\/p>\n

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!<\/p><\/div>\n

Quite literally the only positive attribute of this book is that the promo came with this sick Neurosis live video from 1996. Go ahead and take a look, it’s the last bit of enjoyment you’ll get from here on out.<\/p>\n
