This is the 2nd full book of poetry by Brad Hamers, released in 2003, written in the year after the completion of the debut phlegm LP and just before Brad started working on his debut solo LP, The Cut-Ups of a Paper Woman.  This book had 18 different titles (Leather Raincoats, Still Birth,  Sidewalk Chalk Drawings & Flavored Rain, Poems Without an Arm, etc.) and 18 different covers with art made by either Jennifer Griffo or OkayRAY.  It was made in limited runs of 50, resulting in 300 total copies made.  The book is a collection of mostly unfinished pieces of poetry and was physically created with almost all stolen parts (including a shoplifting censor tag), and was designed and assembled while on the clock at a wage-slave job by Brad, himself. This book is currently Out of Print.
