Guns Taste Bad

Mango Jane Books presents Guns Taste Bad by an emerging American Poet, Landon Chapman.His poem Odysseus was selected by FALL LINES publication by the JASPER PROJECT in Columbia, South Carolina, which is also featured inside the pages of Guns Taste Bad.Guns Taste Bad, by Landon Chapman, begs us to stop scrolling and instead to contemplate a world where there seems to be no room left for poetry; a world filled with misinformation, political polarization and environmental strife.His poetry pierces the truth, disarms the reader and demands attention. It simultaneously offers up a becalmed place in the heart, filled with sad accordion music and understanding.In Guns Taste Bad, Chapman gives us three segments of poetry. "Guns" starts off with a bang by exploring what it means to be male in a post masculine society. In "Taste" he delves into an observation of mental and emotional processes. Finally in "Bad," Chapman examines estrangement in the postmodern experience.We read for adventure and fancy, we read because we feel the burden of life weighing us down. We read poetry because it helps to share that burden and carry that weight.Stop scrolling to fill the void, instead take a bite, read Guns Taste Bad, today.Excerpt from Guns Taste Bad:GUNSLocked in the cabinet with all of the gunsDo all sons kill their fathers or all fathers kill their sons?I can feel the vibrationsI can hear the drill I've locked myselfHereTASTEGuns taste bad, but people still eat them,in the pursuit of happiness and more oftenfreedomBADSing into my skullWhistle past my earsTell me again how to lieBe a semblance of trueBecause this gun is for hirePraise for Guns Taste Bad:
