Description:"'I’m not a big dog / I might be a dog / But there’s a lot of dogs' could be the thesis of Amber Nelson’s incisive, funny, and irreverent “Sexiest Man Alive.” Few poets are brave enough to look deeply into the mirror of pop culture and admit that what is really reflected there is ourselves."~ Kate Durbin, author of E! Entertainment*"These poems take a very silly tradition and present it in a context that gives the words unexpected humor, tenderness, and pathos." ~ Josh Gondelman, Writer and Comedian*"Whoa, bro. Amber Nelson's The Sexiest Man Alive provides a fascinating crash course in the evolution of celebrity sex appeal and masculinity's narrative in pop culture over the past twenty years. It's all here: the well-documented flame-outs of Tom Cruise and Nick Nolte, the thinly cloaked misogyny of Sean Connery and Mel Gibson, the wince-worthy douchebaggery of Adam Levine and Matthew McConaughey, and the aw-shucks dadness of Matt Damon and David Beckham. Nelson's marvelous collection deftly depicts this parade of newsstand sex symbols with artful verse crafted from their own words, as they respond to the unrelenting, inevitable churn of public adoration followed closely by public ridicule. For each and every hunk portrayed, it's a lyric race against the clock for his own relevance, or as Connery-via-Nelson puts it: 'The main concern / for an actor is not believability / but the removal of time.'"~ Nicole Steinberg, author of Glass Actress*"A fascinating read that examines the language of celebrity discourse and the ways in which famous people are allowed to express themselves for public consumption. This is a weird premise for poems that got my brain whirring, made me laugh, and also manufactured in me a great deal of empathy for strangers."~ April Wolfe, Film Critic and Host of Switchblade Sisters and Who Shot Ya?
