Summary
The best of Todd Colby's Soft Skull poetry collections Ripsnort and Cush are here with new poetry and prose. This is simultaneously a "Best Of" and a launching into new directions for this intensely high-energy poet. He is a spontaneous, lively performer, the sharpest, funniest poetic voice under 35. "Mr. Colby makes serious sport of language, showing its basis in the body's impulses and its mutable meanings, " explained Ann Powers in the New York Times.
Author Biography
Todd Colby is a poet and visual artist. He attended the University of Iowa, where he and fellow students started the band Drunken Boat in the 1980s.

His first poetry collection, Ripsnort, was published in 1994, followed by Cush, Riot in the Charm Factory, Tremble & Shine, and Splash State. Colby is on the board of directors of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church, where he teaches workshops.
