let's face it, the destruction of the human through commodification is our collective history, especially in America, is our legacy and nothing built on that can change. no wonder global warming, no wonder mass incarceration, injustice, no wonder the bodies of brown black female mothers the bodies accounted for on sheets on reams, no wonder the hopelessness, helplessness. if you are a cynic good, you should be. this book will only cement that, will make all the thoughts already circulating in your dreams, all the concerns for the human-animal-sister come to light, will make you no happier. if you are a thinking feeling sad human being in 2016 you should read this. nevermind, i take that back. avoid this book, i was about to say 'at all cost'. do not read this book. because it may kill you. i can't quote any part of the book because it may kill you (and besides it builds on itself, so quoting out of context may be harder). since i won't quote from it, and since you shouldn't read this book, i will only quote from the front-matter, the fine print:

This is a beautiful collection about increase - sex & the female body & capitalism & slavery & how we determine worth. Vap beautifully mingles lyrical and academic language. Would be 5 stars if it was a little tighter, length-wise.

I absolutely loved the way this collection was composed, having different threads running through it that eventually overlap and get tangled, leading to crescendo. Masterful use of the prose poem, really showcases its flexibility. The series of faux-business terminology based in female pop-culture and entertainment fixtures was really clever and interesting.
