This is Colin Gee at his best. With his appealing trademark style, Gee’s poetry glides across the reader’s imagination leaving contemplation and delight in its wake.

-Hugh Blanton, author of Kentucky Outlaw

While exhibiting a terse beauty, the pieces in All you want sprawl often in the melancholic, self-destructive and surreal. We are negotiating splits: splits via hybridity, splits in multilingual narration and dialect, a deconstruction of the domestic and the absurd, crackpot history, the culinary, the real and the real weird. And all of it, zapped in the narrator’s electric blender, mixed up with 5 shakes of Tabasco, fired out in morning cockamamie, and when the angels meet and crash – it’s sweet stuff.

-Tempest Miller, author of Gralloched: Boz Box and others.
