wwbutler's review against another edition
5.0
Joe Brainard had a wonderful mind, and this collection of (mostly) diary-entry writing lets you live inside it. Also contains great interviews (the Tim Dlugos interview is not to be missed!), drawings, comics, and of course, the wonderful I Remember. A great read that shows the inner thoughts of a charming and endearing artist who refuses to call himself a poet, but is clearly worthy of the title. ~500 pages goes surprisingly fast. As a side note, Brainard would have had an amazing Twitter account had he lived today: his short form poems and "Train Notes" are lucid, profound, and humorous.
