it got so dark by benjamin krusling

It got so dark is a book about pleasure’s recession. “blacked out when I grabbed the chop//it got so dark” – Rio Da Yung OG, but dreaming might not stop when violence starts, or better not. That’s why the tone is so fried – it’s called trying to maintain.

Benjamin Krusling is the author of a chapbook GRAPES (Projective Industries) and a book, GLARING (Wendy’s Subway). Work has appeared in Folder Magazine, The Volta, Omniverse, Montez Press Radio, and elsewhere. He lives in Brooklyn.
