A limber and vivid sad clown routine of a collection, reading SMILES OF THE UNSTOPPABLE is like knowing the secret password to an illegal speakeasy of imagination. From knife fights between Sharks and Jets to Chewbacca Last Suppers, these are poems that belong in the cold kitchens of the heart: hilarious and swooning, caramel in sensibility, and endless in feeling. "Jason Bredle roams like a cartoon jaguar and swims amid squid and jellyfish that can't be touched and might as well be hamsters and it's as if drifting and roaming need never end"—Mark Halliday.

Jason Bredle is the author of SMILES OF THE UNSTOPPABLE (Magic Helicopter Press, 2011), STANDING IN LINE FOR THE BEAST (New Issues Poetry & Prose, 2007), and Pain Fantasy (Red Morning Press, 2007) as well as the chapbooks The Book of Evil (Dream Horse Press, 2011), Class Project (Publishing Genius Press, 2010), and A Twelve Step Guide (New Michigan Press, 2004). He lives in Chicago.
