A great gift for Valentine's Day, this book will shock, titillate, and tickle.

Book Description
Shortlisted for the 2013 Griffin Poetry Prize. These are not love poems. These are almost-love poems. Jittery, plaintive, and fresh, Personals is voiced through a startling variety of speakers who continually rev themselves up to the challenge of connecting with others, often to no avail. Williams writes in traditional poetic forms: ghazals, a pantoum, blank sonnets, mock-heroic couplets, and creates forms of his own: poems that spin into indeterminacy, poems that don’t end. With a deft hand and playful ear, Williams entices the reader to stumble alongside his characters as they search, again and again, for intimacy, for love, for each other.

Book Description
Personal ads: Who can resist reading them-even if you're "attached"?Dogs: Who doesn't love them (okay, besides cats and mail carriers)?Personal ads for dogs: The most inspired combination since peanut butter and jelly!Fixed Mix Seeks Same: The First Book of Dog Personal Ads is a one-of-a-kind collection of hilarious canine snapshots and personal ads that will leave readers howling. What better treasure or gift for the dog lover, a friend who's making the singles rounds, or anyone who finds witty writing irresistible? Some ads are silly, others sly, and a few a tad naughty. The pooch portraits are grounded in reality, with a satiric or absurd twist-just like the most intriguing people personals.Consider the terrier in a bikini whose ad reads: "Moondoggie Where Are You? Sun-worshiping beach babe seeks Big Kahuna who loves to soak up the rays and knows when it's time to roll over. Sunsets, bonfires, gnarly waves, and corn dogs float my boat. Man thongs, hairy backs, and muscle heads move on. Let's duck under the beach umbrella and dig our own love castle. No sk8ers please-get a life."A hysterically entertaining look at man's best (date-minded) friend.

Book Description
I've divorced better men than you. And worn more expensive shoes than these. So don't think placing this ad is the biggest comedown I've ever had to make. Sensitive F, 34. Employed in publishing? Me too. Stay the hell away. Man on the inside seeks woman on the outside who likes milling around hospitals guessing the illnesses of out-patients. 30-35. Leeds. They Call Me Naughty Lola is a testament to the creativity and humor that can still be found among men and women longing for love and allergic to the concepts of Internet and speed dating. Here is an irresistible collection of the most brilliant and often absurd personal ads from the world's funniest -- and most erudite -- lonely-hearts column. The ads have been called "surreal haikus of the heart," and in an age of false advertising, the men and women who write them are hindered neither by high expectations nor by positivism of any kind. And yet, while hopes of finding a suitable mate remain low, the column has produced a handful of marriages, many friendships, and at least one divorce. Here are the young, old, fat, bald, healthy, ill, rich, and poor hoping that they can find true love, or at the very least, someone to call them Naughty Lola.
