Brock Creepling is broken. But he's getting better. At least that's what he tells his doctors at his mental hospital nicknamed, The Zoo. Upon his release the washed-up cartoonist attempts to pick up the pieces of his life and revive his career with the help of his friend and therapist. The only thing stopping Brock, is the untamed colorful characters that litter his mind every second of the day. Hiding his disorder isn't easy. And climbing back to the top won't be much better. Brock is broken. But he's getting better.

Working Title investigates a spectrum of emotions: disillusionment, fatigue, anger, frustration, and indifference, and others through a series of poems that honor the Everyman. The speakers of the poems share the same face but not always the same uniform. They are workers from the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. What emerges is a painting illustrating the consequences of spending more time in an office than out in the world. The numbing nine-to-fives. The blinding blue light of computer screens. Working Title is a portrait of the mundane everyday of modern civilization in the western world.

Following multiple characters, WHAT MUST GO ON is a poetry collection that delves into the art of live performance. From the lyrical decapitation of battle rap, to the pre-premier jitters of the theater, the collection swims its way through the various forms of entertainment and gathers up the many faces and feelings of each. It's a variety show of dreamers, artists, and hustlers just using their gifts to get by.
