Howie Good's TRUE CRIME

Impeccably arranged, Howie Good's prose poems have the ability to surprise and move and entertain. He is a master of literary collage. And his art, as it always is, is honest and outraged—personally, socially, politically. True Crime is Good's third book with Sacred Parasite, a 52-piece collection that aims to make you feel, and think, deeply.

Before turning to creative writing in 2004, he wrote, co-wrote, or edited books on American popular culture, media ethics, and public education. He has published more than three dozen poetry collections, including The Dark (Sacred Parasite, 2024), Akimbo (Sacred Parasite, 2025), and True Crime (Sacred Parasite, 2026), and the award-winning The Loser’s Guide to Street Fighting (Thought Crime Press, 2018) and Lovesick (Press Americana, 2009). His poems can also be found in numerous online journals. He lives in Cape Cod with his wife and their dog, both of whom put in occasional appearances in his writing.
