"Todd Cirillo's new poetry collection DISPOSABLE DARLINGS is a celebration for those beautiful moments of living with no strings attached. Like a true pirate poet, Cirillo's poems pillage the senses with good music, stiff drinks, and even a little romance. Cirillo's strengths are on full display in this collection. Sit back with your favorite drink and enjoy. Welcome to the party."- Jake St. John, author of Lost City Highway

"What I love about Todd's poetry is its ability to make me laugh out loud, feel loved or heartbroken or like I've pre-gamed for a party I wasn't invited to but craved to be a part of. Reading DISPOSABLE DARLINGS creates a sensation that these poems happened to me. Todd is abundantly clever in his wordplay and metaphors, without being over the top. This is a book I read over and over again-while at a bar, traveling, in the park, stuck in traffic. Take a moment to read "Useful Poetry," because I strongly suggest you make good use of this book in typical and potentially suggestive ways, because I have, and I love every minute of it."- Linzi Garcia, author of Thank You

"Todd Cirillo's work is like that old friend who is always there at the bar to share a drink and some good laughs, and also make you think. It's work that to a certain degree always makes you feel good knowing it aims to entertain without preaching or having a hidden agenda. It's a good jukebox with excellent tunes and where an ice cold beer is waiting before you even take your seat. Todd doesn't speak at you as most so-called modern poets do in that pretentious sense he speaks to you as friend and connects as great writers should. His pages are his truth and he provides a much needed escape in times when that is needed more so than ever. Take the ride. I promise it will always be worth the price of admission."- John Patrick Robbins, Editor In Chief of the Rye Whiskey Review
