An un-named famous musician (has a record review on pitchfork.com) said this about the book in a personal email:
"Matthew! I like your poems. I especially like your dialogue. You reign all the sadness of the world into short, simple, and sweet phrases that somehow tame all the chaos of corpses leaking into the water pipes..."
And Ron Silliman, famous Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere, had this to say when reached for comment:
"Krishna... there's something stuck in the garbage disposal. Arghhh."

More 'blurbs':
“long love poem with descriptive title has this tender sensibility about domestic life, but it’s still very dour and a little sad. It has this way of displaying the repetitive quality of relationships that is comforting but ultimately depressing as hell. I would like to marry Matthew, but after reading this lovely work, it suddenly seems like a bad idea.”
–Kendra Grant Malone
"Matthew Savoca's poetry is like a slow-spinning ceiling fan. It's like the feeling of being under the ceiling fan. It's like the feeling of looking up at the ceiling fan. It's like the feeling of falling half-asleep beneath it. And this book is the calm, sunny room that you're in.
I could think of a million other tiny small things to say (probably all of them about things like washing dishes) that make me think of Matthew's poetry and how it's one of the best things that I know about that exists. Everything seems a little lighter and easier and sunnier if I think about them after thinking about Matthew's poetry.
You should probably be in love with Matthew Savoca. He wrote this book for you."
