Neuware - Amazing to me that in 25 years, I've never written poems about pro wrestling. I've written fan fiction and other things when I was much younger, but never poems along these lines. I've broken everything down into three sections. One for my memories. One for random topics I felt like writing about. The third is a shoot interview with a fictional wrestler named Mark Prime. When Dan Wright asked me if I was interested in doing this book with him, a lot of different ideas and anecdotes from my past suddenly came rushing to me. I realized as I started writing these that I had far more negative associations with this weird, amazing form of athletic entertainment than positive ones. This book doesn't change that, but it did go a long way towards making me understand why I stopped watching to a significant extent a few years ago.But I'll always be a fan. It's hard to shake something that has been part of my life in some form or fashion for about 35 years. Like music and film, wrestling has been meaningful to my influences and dreams and ideas in ways that are hard, perhaps silly, to explain. No matter what, I can't seem to quit wrestling as a fan entirely.Writing these poems reminded me of everything in wrestling that depresses me, and everything about wrestling that tires out my enthusiasm. At the same time, this book gave me more enthusiasm for what I do love about this sport than I've felt in quite possibly a full decade. I've exercised through writing some of the things about pro wrestling that annoy or sadden me, particularly most wrestling fans. What's left is a book I'm very proud of about a subject I'm glad has been part of my life. Wrestling is surreal, heroic, ridiculous, dangerous, and ultimately something that never fails to surprise me. It's still real to me dammit. …
