Alms for the Bored
Alms for the Bored by Sam Pekarske, published by Vegetarian Alcoholic Press on September 12, 2018, is a unique exploration of memory and existence through poetry. This edition spans 188 pages and invites readers into a collection that reflects on the complexities of life, presenting a series of movements that challenge conventional thought and embrace the chaos of modern experience.
Readers will find that Alms for the Bored serves as both an archive of personal reflections and a commentary on the human condition. The work is divided into six sections, each offering exercises in instability and questioning the role of poetry in our lives. With themes rooted in inspiration and the fallibility of memory, this book encourages a restless engagement, suggesting that it may be held, read partially, and ultimately forgotten, much like the fleeting nature of thought itself.
Official synopsis Publisher
Welcome to my archive of freaky recalls and plaints for the dust age. I wrote this thing–this dossier on the collapse–in ninety movements, building an unreasonable monument to the pleasure of giving up and the fallibility of memory. An instruction manual for an overburdened life, Alms for the Bored is to be held restlessly, read partially, and forgotten in time. Its cover will turn black from the grease of your hands. Its six sections are exercises in total fucking instability, embracing cacophony as a virus and chaos studies in lieu of academia. It’s the non-answer to whether or not we need poetry or if it needs us. It’s useless questions come undone, all of them.
-Sam Pekarske, 2018
