About John Tottenham Books
John Tottenham is the author of four volumes of poetry: The Inertia Variations (2004 & 2010), Antiepithalamia & Other Poems of Regret and Resentment (2012), The Hate Poems (2018), and Fresh Failure (2023). A unique purveyor of "magnanimous misanthropy" and "magical cynicism," Tottenham has been described as "Los Angeles's foremost po?te maudit."
