It's a very limited edition, so you might want to grab your copy fast. The titles of the chapbook and of all its poems were derived from David Berman / Silver Jews songs. Besides my "Random Rules," which was originally published in Gasconade Review, none of these poems have appeared in print before.

Here's how I described You Can't Trust It to Remain on Goodreads:

New poems about love and loss and the inner journey. David Berman, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Merricle walk into a bar in the author's psyche and come back out somehow resembling Burroughs poems. Drink up!
