Skunk: A Love Story

“The skunk-obsessed narrator of Justin Courter’s excellent, off-kilter love story leads his lucky reader through a flare-lit labyrinth of unusual, and unusually rewarding, instances. This is fine, fierce writing: an auspicious debut.” —Laird Hunt

The Death of the Poem and Other Paragraphs

“A consumer devours himself, a junk-food addict eats from garbage cans, a titmouse lives in a woman's bra: there is a demented literal- mindedness to these funny, fast-paced prose poems that turns the world inside out and reveals every smidgen of its goofy, delicious splendor.”
— David Kirby
