This debut collection of poetry from John Kojak will make you laugh, cry, and reach for the bottle. His writing doesn't pull any punches or rely on syrupy metaphors. The poems are easily readable and highly relatable to anyone who has lived, loved, and lost. Doughnut Shaded Sunsets is a call to arms against fakery and pretension. Instead of the usual abstractions and vagueness that often fill the pages of modern poetry collections, Kojak's new collection is full of clear-eyed wit and devastating honesty. The writing is razor-sharp and poignant. At times gritty, at times savagely funny, I enjoyed spending time in this world of angst, drunkenness, and lonely ruminations. -C.W. Blackwell, award-winning writer and author of River Street Rhapsody and Song of The Red Squire Doughnut Shaded Sunsets is a biting yet tender, dark yet funny, cynical, and extremely bingeable collection. -B.F. Jones, author and co-editor of Punk Noir Magazine
