Look At Me When I'm Hitting You

Outlaw poetry from the last streetlight in Gary, Indiana.

This is where it started.

Look at Me When I'm Hitting You: Part I is the raw, blood-slick beginning of Eddie Joe Beers' literary warpath - 84 pages of outlaw verse, absurdist truth, and defiant survival.

It's not polished. It's not polite. It's not asking for your approval.

These are the poems that punched first. Born from the ruins of stand-up comedy and raised on the edge of collapse, this collection rattles teeth and wrecks illusions.

What you'll find inside:

• Working-class rage and spiritual exhaustion

• Philosophical landmines and social indictments

• Laughter that leaves bruises

• Truth-telling no one else had the stomach for

If you're numb, read this. If you're angry, read this louder.
And if you're still pretending things are fine?
You're not ready.
