MOUTHFUL is Matt Starr and Dream Baby Press's first book.

MOUTHFUL'S themes deal with desire, shame, celebrity, sexuality, money, body image, bodily fluid, innocence, coming of age, pharmaceuticals, bulimic boys, and much more.

MOUTHFUL is a playfully perverse, live-wire look into sexuality, hunger, bodily obsessions, New York City, and the messiness of growing into one’s desires. With tenderness and candor, he merges youth and experience to observe the absurdity of adulthood, in all its complications of heart, body, and mind. In his debut poetry collection, Starr traces the edges of early longing and curiosity, only to find a strange sweetness in the stains left behind.

"MOUTHFUL keeps a running lyrical tab of all of the stray, horny, quotidian, anxious but most importantly, generous thoughts racing through Matt’s handsome little head. *Chef’s kiss*”

Brontez Purnell
