Edwin Decker
Despite the fact that it was nominated for a 2007 San Diego Book Award, Barzilla and other psalms is a tome for your bathroom book rack. It is funny, sarcastic, irreverent and obnoxious. Some might be inclined to call it poetry but really it is a reaction to poetry as it completely lacks poetic ambition, which is to say, it aims to entertain – not impress.
"At times whimsical and wonderful, at times brutal and twisted, at other times pained and longing, Edwin Decker doesn't let you get comfortable."
(Dave Rolland, editor, San Diego CityBeat)
"Edwin Decker is offensive, irreverent and inappropriate. I can’t believe I haven’t slept with him yet."
(Anya Marina, KBZT 94/9 FM San Diego)
