"Hak (The King of Adventure) delivers a droll, absurdist collection that pokes fun at poetry as well as life's tedium and despair. The poet invites the reader into a series of outlandish scenarios that address intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships with an emphasis on the effects of capitalist society, greed, and waste. A couple stuck in an elevator that's about to crash quibbles over a grapefruit, a powdered product mixes with water to deliver instant romance, and displaced alien musicians with mediocre talent reject the idea of working harder after being critiqued."--
