Charlie Peck speaks of what he knows well, 'the smell / of pork fat & garlic leading the way to the steel noodle counter.' His poems feed us. They feed us hunger, want, loneliness, loss, addiction, violence, boredom, depravity, laughter, grief, joy. The menu is memory. Watch out. Eating this poetry can burn your tongue. Bite down. The words may bite you back, but they will fill your mouth completely. They talk back. This is a book like the best Gaeng Keow Wan, green Thai curry. It is habanero hot."

February 7, 2025
Author of A Walk with Frank O'Hara: Poems
“These beautifully detailed yet restrained poems smolder with the force of resistance—against ‘good-girl rules,’ against the indignities of death, against what the news brings us every day. Aizenberg’s is a sensibility grown brave, empathic, and supple, flinching from nothing, and able to hold but not surrender to the pain of not flinching.”
