This debut poetry chapbook from John Edward Lawson features thirty poems of the bizarre, ranging from horror to surreal to experimental.

What they're saying about The Scars are Complimentary:

"...a great introduction to the range of Lawson's playful, dark, and challenging imagination. The book captures his voice in a can, and when you read the work, it pops out like one of those springy snakes hiding in the nutjar."
— Michael A. Arnzen
