And if you want a book to carry with you when no one seems to care, when no one seems to be your friend, well then, you've found it.\" --Dorothea Lasky\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extended love letter, Todd Colby's sixth poetry collection \u003ci\u003eSplash State\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with humor and charm. These poems are as concerned with aging, time, being and death as they are with eliminating \"the need for anxious circumstances\" with facts, instructions and advice. From extolling the uses of \"Shark's Paw\" and \"Fink Leaf\" to \"how to look like everything is okay in photographs,\" Colby's poems opt for the personal and generous, even when his tongue is firmly planted in cheek. If melancholy is just around the corner, these poems will walk with you in the opposite direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTodd Colby\u003c\/b\u003e has previously authored five collections of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eTremble and Shine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRiot in the Charm Factory\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eNew and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e was published by Soft Skull Press.
