"Lin's poetry passes by slacker era irony and self-
indulgent formalism to dig up something deeper and more human, even when that something seems on first reading to merely be depressed hamsters." - JEFFREY BROWN
"I hope this new publisher uses my blurb this time. I was a little sad that the other one didn't use it. They could have sold tens of copies if they'd put my blurb on that book. But this book is better; these poems are serious and funny and more than they appear. I am a big fan of Tao Lin's writing and this book makes me happy." - MATTHEW ROHRER
"Tao Lin writes from moods that less radical writers would let pass - from laziness, from vacancy, from boredom. And it turns out that his report from these places is moving and necessary, not to mention frequently hilarious." - MIRANDA JULY
I have a website with art and photos on it here and movie things here.

ahoy hoy.. well i just go done reading cognitive-behavioral therapy mixed with some coricidin which probably wasn't a good idea because after that it felt like all the worlds emotions were flattening my chest and I stated to wonder if you ever felt that way
that was the intended feeling. i read it on a train ride and afterwards i had a difficult time conversing conherently with people. mostly this was really funny.
im about to outnerd myself: a very long discussion of eeeee eee eeee between myself and a friend is what prompted me to make the decision to start a book club.
zac told me about how one of his friends from somewhere will be eating something on stage tonight somewhere i think . . . we could go throw rocks at her, or maybe just go sit under a bridge and throw rocks as homeless people
