Darby is like if Raymond carver and jd Salinger had a baby in the 70s, late 70s.

It was a perfect delivery, especially because the post office opened it to ensure nothing was smuggled.

I love the limited edition booklets I ordered. There is nothing like the arts made tangible! Thanks for having such offerings!

Thank you for sharing your art with us, Darby!

CONFETTI TORNADO - new and selected illustrated poems, paperback

Darby's poetry has been the best thing that has happened to me this year.

I first discovered his work on Instagram through Darby Love and it encapsulated the whimsy and profound wisdom that I had lost in my life. The personal "knowing" about ones own truth.

From the wonderful signatures on the books to the hand written address I was delighted when they came in.

Thank you, Darby, for writing things I didn't even know I needed until I found them.

This was a gift for my partner who is a big fan of your work. Was a great surprise and she loved it.

I devoured these collections within a week then re-read them to make notes. Darby is a bold and beautiful voice in the face of modern misery, shining a light into the endless and wondrous self so that we can find ourselves through him.

Loved UM, even though I don’t identify as a creative.

In love with Darbys work. It communicates something deep in the soul while being easily accessible for any individual that feels a connection to both the magnificence and mundane aspects of life. True art. Appreciate your work very much, thanks for the feelings.

I enjoy the writing of Darby Hudson so much. These copies were meant for me, but I’ll have to repurchase. I gifted Darbys books to friends each time I’d come across words that moved me. My supply rapidly dwindled to nothing.
So glad you put your work out into the world!

Thank you Darby.
I needed this.

I have enjoyed reading your words and nuggets of wisdom digitally. It’s nice to have them to hold in my hand. This book has helped me look beyond my writer’s block and write anyway. I needed that.
