The Truth is We Are Perfect, the first collection of poetry from Janaka Stucky, is also the first single-author work from Third Man Books. And we’re pleased to debut the trailer for it today, which features a surreal tableau, flames, and Stucky’s booming voice above it all.

And if you’re seeking more from Stucky, here he is discussing the book on TV in Richmond, and here’s him reading from the book. He also assembled a playlist inspired by his book for Largehearted Boy.
