Synopsis

Poetry for people who usually hate poetry. No academic posturing, no sunsets, zero filler.

"Hold on to yourself because I’m rocketing back up from depths I’ve created on the way to a star I’ve only begun to imagine & you can come with."

99 Poems///Cops of Life is a raw, deadpan, and weirdly hilarious poetry collection from cult literary icon Sam Pink. Written from the margins of everyday life, these 99 poems skip the pretentious literary fluff and go straight for frogs, woodchucks, bad neighbors, dark humor, and the sheer absurdity of being alive.

"He wasn’t writing, like so many alt-lit kids, boring fiction about being bored in an upper-middle-class life... He was writing—has always been writing—about people on and outside the margins of society." — Chicago Review of Books

Inside this uncut, author-published paperback, you will find:

• Everyday Absurdism: Poems that make you seriously wonder how soon is too soon to ask your neighbor to take down her windchimes.


• Unfiltered Deadpan Humor: Late-night observations on why a frog taking a single hop away from you feels like a personal insult.


• 99 Bite-Sized Hits: Fast, punchy, anti-poetry built for short attention spans, diner booths, and anyone tired of curated social media advice.


• Direct from the Underground: Whether this is your very first Sam Pink book or you are collecting all 10 independent editions, you can open to any page and laugh out loud within ten seconds.

"Sam Pink is one of the most brilliant storytellers alive today; inimitable but also hilarious." — 3:AM Magazine
