Wednesday Night Meeting is a coming of age story disguised as a curvy math problem. Or maybe it’s a second coming of age story. Or maybe it’s a bucket list disguised as a gunshot mystery. Anyway, it makes you wonder why cleavage and the crucifix get along so well. It treats poetry like the vitamins in your mashed potatoes. It wanders through the concrete jungle with a reptilian boombox on its back. It hits all the flavor sensors on your tongue. It teaches you how to get into more bedrooms, that is to say, how to be more interesting. It’s on the verge of making libraries sexy again. It makes a cup of coffee out of vowels and mixes cocktails with velvet. It starts with pheromone bones and the end is covered with graffiti and blood. And above all, it shows you how Earth is just one big magnet trying to pull us all together.
