Have you guys read this? Is it worth the ten bucks?

Yes; no.

I haven't read anything by Ben Lerner, but a lot of my friends think he's the greatest. I met him once actually at a party, seems like a cool guy. He and Cyrus Console have a bit of a following here in Kansas City/Lawrence.

Is the cover meant to imitate Faber&Faber?

I read a review and it seems to comprehend why *I* hate poetry.

On the other hand, I went to a speech he gave once and found it dull and inscrutable; the man had his head in his ass and it was a boring ass.

You can read the first ten or so pages or so to see if you value it that much. It's only ~$8.50 on Amazon.

Yes, maybe. It's not muc of a time commitment anyway. You're probably better off reading his lit crit.
