Poems from the Toaster, Volume I is not your typical poetry collection-it's a raw, unfiltered dive into the chaos of being human. From the mind of one-day-award-winning wordsmith David Kitzmiller comes this gritty, oddly comforting exploration of love, loss, lust, depression, heartbreak, and dark humor. This is the first companion book in the Dealing with the Toaster series-a name that's less about breakfast appliances and more about the emotional slow-burn of wanting to throw "life" (aka the toaster) into the bathtub but somehow choosing not to.
Each page offers a punch of honesty, a whisper of vulnerability, or a middle finger to the things we're supposed to politely ignore. Kitzmiller's voice is sharp and self-aware, layered with sarcasm and sincerity in equal measure. Whether he's writing about failed relationships, battling addiction, or existential dread in a 7-Eleven parking lot, the result is poetry that feels like a late-night confession you didn't mean to make-but needed to.
Perfect for anyone who finds comfort in discomfort and humor in the heartbreak, Poems from the Toaster, Volume I isn't here to inspire as much as it is to say, "Yeah, life sucks sometimes. You're not alone. Here's a poem about it."
