Smiles of the Unstoppable
(Poetry. A limber and vivid sad clown routine of a collect...)
Poetry. A limber and vivid sad clown routine of a collection, reading SMILES OF THE UNSTOPPABLE is like knowing the secret password to an illegal speakeasy of imagination. From knife fights between Sharks and Jets to Chewbacca Last Suppers, these are poems that belong in the cold kitchens of the heart: hilarious and swooning, caramel in sensibility, and endless in feeling. "Jason Bredle roams like a cartoon jaguar and swims amid squid and jellyfish that can't be touched and might as well be hamsters and it's as if drifting and roaming need never end."—Mark Halliday

Jason Bredle's recent debut, 'Standing in Line for the Beast' (New Issues) has been praised by Barbara Hamby as a collection of "long loopy poems that make you laugh out loud and then crumple your heart like a Dixie cup." A poet of daring contradiction, Bredle continues to push his own boundaries in 'Pain Fantasy,' a book that will first delight readers with its humor and then stun them with the sincerity that lies at its core.
