Nunt makes Fight Club look like Three Little Bunnies ... these verses have something to mortally offend everyone who reads them. I devoured them in one sitting (before they devoured me), struck again and again by their tireless and imaginative violence - passion, really. Tourette wrenches tormented, nihilistic and surreally brutal feelings out of the pornographic and into the poetic. Like drinking yourself sober, there’s virtue in the excess.”
Daniel Richler

Mingus Tourette may be the most exhilarating voice to emerge on the Canadian
poetry scene in decades.”
Misty Harris, CanWest News - The Edmonton Journal, The Calgary Herald

“[a]s hard to put down as a glass of whiskey spiked with acid.
The New Haven Advocate

[b]rutally powerful…”
The Link

[t]he book is part shock poetry and part insanity, but all genius.”
The Manitoban

Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs… Mingus Tourette? High praise, but Tourette belongs in this company. And when the time comes, I want a seat at their table in Hell.”
NEXUS

It’s been a long time since I read a book that I became emotionally involved in. I fell in love with this one. It violated, desecrated, and exhausted me, but left me wanting more.”
The Navigator

Mingus Tourette is a fascinating writer. Even if you can't tolerate the revulsion this book causes, you probably won't be able to put it down. ”
Imprint

"He is either insane or brilliant. In my own humble opinion, and in the best of circumstances, he’s both.”
The Brandon Quill

“His writing is passionate and driven, sometimes so gritty and down to earth, that you can taste the earthworms.”
The Edmonton Journal

Is it possible for a Canadian to be an enfant terrible? Looks like.
The Iconoclast

“Ed’s favourite iconoclast…”
Ed Magazine

“I admired the guy’s juice, his devotion to the craft, the whiffs of Bukowksi and insanity in the poetry prose.”
The Edmonton Journal

“[I] really liked your story, a profane, nightmarish tale whose narrator travels to Cambodia and blows up a barn, then a cow, with hand grenades. It was written with economy and momentum and a raw, poetic grace, and had this compressed Apocalypse Now vibe that invoked Latin and satori, the Buddhist notion of sudden enlightenment … still sticks in my guts after several months”
The Edmonton Journal, Shawn Ohler, Culture Editor on Nunto 35

If you have not already acquired a copy of Nunt, kiddies, I entreat you to. I was repelled, amused, and deeply moved in the space of three pages - I had to finish it the night I bought it. There are images and turns of phrase that will resound in the drum of my head for a very long time. A vigorous, stimulating read; I shit you not.
FrutigerBlack


Well, I’m neither web nerd nor New York poet, but I still enjoyed reading your site … that’s why I enjoy your site so much, because it is so brutally honest, so raw.
MH, online

I’ve composed a list of men i’d sleep with just for their brainpower/talent alone…#6. mingus tourette - he’s not famous yet, but give it time. he frightens me... in a good way. Afrochic, afrochic.net
