"After reading Mr. Faulkner's incredible book, something happened. I began to feel bad for the person I was before reading his poems.

It was so goddamn boring before we met him."--Matthew Dickman Need Machine clamors through the brain like an unruly marching band.

Reviews for Need Machine
"Andrew Faulkner's debut collection of poetry is as sharp as a bag of razors about a subject that usually breeds nothing but milquetoast wishy-washiness: boredom, dissatisfaction and indifference. Instead of the watery, grey and indefinite language that these feelings often inspire, Faulkner attacks them with every ounce of acerbic, snarling wit he can muster."
