PRAISE FOR GATEWAY 2000 & OTHER POEMS

“Mike Andrelczyk’s poetry makes you feel the way you ought to feel without Mike Andrelczyk’s poetry.”

— Mike Topp

“From epics of outdated computers to jokes told sideways and jettisoned proverbs, the poems in Gateway 2000 are nimble in scope and wicked in scroll. I enjoy this book deeply.”

— Daniel Bailey, author of A Better Word for the World

“Experiencing Gateway 2000 is such an effortless pleasure that each poem feels like an exploration of your own memories.”

— Giacomo Pope, author of Chainsaw Poems & Other Poems

“There are poets who are like ‘Poetry is not a game!’ Then there are poets like Andrelczyk who are like ‘Of course poetry is a game!"‘ These brilliant poems joke, meditate, imbibe, yell, whisper, hiccup, mumble, trail off, and spin yarn, all while discovering sublime truths.”

— Tyler Barton, author of The Quiet Part Loud

“Witty, strange, comical, and casually dour, this collection feels like paying off your bills and accidentally kicking your boss in the shin at the same time. It is a hot sauce suicide. It is singing in the rain. Gateway 2000 is the absurdity of life being observed through a kaleidoscope.”

— Cavin Bryce Gonzalez, author of I Could Be Your Neighbor, Isn’t that Horrifying?

“Gateway 2000 is funny, silly, and yet powerful and provocative.”

— Zac Smith, author of 50 Barn Poems
