    • Abstract:
      In the comic fourth book from Belz (Glitter Bomb), the poet acutely observes his fellow humans - especially millennials - and uses these observations to weave text-speak and startup jargon into rich moments that feel entirely human. Absurdist monologues appear alongside yarns of failed courtship, and shaggy-dog humor for the internet-meme generation. Perhaps that's also part of Belz's covert critique: that most individuals are consumed with their own nonsense and collectively working toward the same kind of anticlimax that the book, on occasion, confers.
