”Here it is -- the place where History and Poetry commune."

Bob Holman, Founder, Bowery Poetry Club

"This is a varied and moving poetic memoir,

which records in verse an incredible

journey."

Krishan Coupland -- NeonBooks

Blue Sky

The Airplane Game Chapbook

“For Olesiak, language is play, is tool, is deconstructive method of living and unliving. Like an aircraft, these poems will transport you, but the destination is unclear as our bucket-hat-adorned pilot veers in loops and dips beyond what’s known, at moments revealing ‘triturating faerie dust pyramids’ while at others, ‘consumer chariots’ and 'LAPD

dancing with stars.’”

“…Karol Olesiak evokes an impression of something intangible, a crumbling reality that at times seems almost absurd, yet you can’t shake the feeling that each word has been carefully chosen.” Writes Andrea Damic author All The Losses

 

“Saturday-morning-cartoon logic bleeds into trauma…animals and objects become unstable anchors for thought ..the book is a pleasure to move through..” Says Dylan Connell writer of Nadie se salva & Mask of Aphrodite

nat raum, author of journal of various worries writes ”..Saturday Morning Crusades...boldly reimagines the mundane as a symphonic stream"
