Cut-Up Apologetic - Softcover

"Jamie Sharpe's Cut-Up Apologetic slashes through cultures and sutures their highs and lows." -- Winnipeg Free Press

"The mindful cage-rattling of this slim volume will provoke readers to ponder the importance of their own self-expression -- and the reality of their failures -- in the context of an increasingly corporatized world." -- Scene Magazine

"Cut-up Apologetic is a melancholic look at the foibles of modern society, and it explores our struggles, fears, and our desire to be remembered for ages to come." -- TheAbsoluteMag.com

"Back in July, 2013, Today's book of poetry had the pleasure of reading/blogging about Sharpe's Animal Husbandry Today, his excellent first book. Cut-up Apologetic is more of the same brilliant lunatic assemblage. Except that these poems are tighter, just slightly more crisp, and that is an unexpected delight . . . Jamie Sharpe has very quickly become one of Today's Book of Poetry's favourite poets to pull out of a hat, 'Here! Read this!' I say, grinning like Hell." -- Today's Book of Poetry

"Cut-up Apologetic is a twisted look at today's world, very enjoyable and recommended." -- Evil Cyclist

"Sharpe's poetry is poignant and fresh, holding a magnifying glass freely to Corporate North America and to himself." -- Jaffalogue

"This collection doesn't shy away from irony; and it holds a simultaneous feeling of being self-conscious and effortless like an already smooth face applied seamlessly with makeup. Cut Up Apologetic has many attractive layers." -- The Impressment Gang
