"songbirds are entertaining. roses smell nice. most passion, however, resolves as cacophonous and stinky. in A Bank Robber’s Bad Luck with His Ex-Girlfriend, this mess we call “love,” gets reduced, poked at, prodded, and eventually pushed over. don't miss out on this tough, sassy, hopeful assemblage of verse. press up against its soft concepts of intimate associations. come along to slide among A Bank Robber’s Bad Luck with His Ex-Girlfriend’s articulated regrets, muted longings, and rudimentary joys, today!"

" in this new collection of poetry, kj hannah greenberg takes on the topic of love with full poetic abandon. tangling with fairy tales, disillusionment, regret, break-ups, hardships, and longevity, greenberg doesn't shy away from the sticky side of sweet. her poetry, didactic at times, representational at others, employs devices of style and unconventional usage to delve deeper meaning in narrative. a collection for those who know the course of love is as often fraught with adversity as it is suffused with light."

kj hannah greenberg gave up all manner of academic hoopla to chase a hibernaculum of imaginary hedgehogs and to raise children. after almost two decades of home birthing, herbal medicine making and occasional basket weaving, she dusted off her keyboard and began to churn out smoothies, vegetable soup, and more creative work than might be considered proper for a middle-aged woman. her work has been published in hundreds of venues, including in cantaraville, language and culture magazine, poetica, poetry superhighway, the new vilna review, and vox poetica. last year, hannah was nominated by the shine journal, for the pushcart prize in poetry.
