How to Appear Perfectly Indifferent While Crying on the Inside Jay Ritchie

Poetry. Twenty-four-hour diners, swimming pools, haunted McDonald's, reincarnation and fame in remote East Africa: the poems in HOW TO APPEAR PERFECTLY INDIFFERENT WHILE CRYING ON THE INSIDE follow a young 20-something as he navigates break-ups, adulthood, technology and loneliness. This collection uses imagery and irony, self-deprecating humour and the poignant pop culture reference to create a work that is funny, earnest and colloquial.
