    “Book Descriptions: Paige Johnson’s debut poetry book, Percocet Summer blurs noir and dirty realism like a Lana Del Rey love song.

    Inspired by a rainbow array of drug fiends and fiended-over druggies, Percocet Summer encompasses the rush of the solstice, odd obsessions, and other crushables (people and pills and moods). From Florida sweat to Georgia peach sweetness, NYC high-rollers to skidding-by wannabes, these 35+ illustrated poems cover all the shady crevices of a summer well-wasted. We’re talking the lows of eating disorders and intervention, to the throes of psychedelia and romance, to the in-betweens of internet celebrity and international and inter-dimensional travel. Gas station syringes and cotton candy softness, rap-fast slang to gushy Valentine verses, cheeky loves to sophisticated manipulators.

    This is the first installment of the four-part series Seasonal Dissociation: Poetry for Distancing Dates and Doses. Other titles include Cracked Leaves & Autumn Lines, Citrus Springs, and Aurora Shards of Winter.
