An Island of Fifty

So pretty soon An Island of Fifty will be coming out. That there is the cover, designed by Steven Seighman. I am excited for holding this book eventually. I cant imagine holding it really.
Here are blurbs:

'AN ISLAND OF FIFTY is a new literary bomb, resulting in the shrapnel of gold, ships, ocean, chandeliers, dreams, blood, & flame. Old & stale literature won't know what just hit. This is something new masking itself in the old & I'm so so so excited

Shane Jones, author of LIGHT BOXES'

'Ben Brooks is popping quarks with AN ISLAND OF FIFTY, spilling new flavors

of literature on the swampy bookstacks of old.  Call it new political, new
ecological, new sociological, new poetic activism, or even new imaginary
creationism.  This book builds up to tear down and tears down to build up.
Desire as melancholia, progress as slippage, and wanting for wanting’s
sake.  The floodgates crumble.  I relish the shape of this new wordspace,
the play of noise and whisper, the unfamiliar voices, and the ache of
nihilism paradoxically juxtaposed with the gleam of hopeful invention.

—Christopher Higgs, author of The Complete Works of Marvin K. Mooney'

I think that both Shane and Chris are highly trustworthy people.
You can preorder the book here.
If you do then I will be your friend.

Last night I heard these things said repeatedly:
'art is so subjective'
'words mean nothing'
'what is freedom?'
