Complete Sentences is a poetry pamphlet of & about teaching, owing its existence to the break room, the blackboard, the brilliance of students, and the bell at the end of the school day. Tom Snarsky presents charmingly odd observations of modern life, drawing attention to its strangeness in a manner reminiscent of New York school poets Ashbery and O’Hara. Snarsky’s poetry dances between the playful and profound, his laughter ‘tinkling among the teacups’, revealing the surrealness of the contemporary moment.
