A bard of the TikTok age, comedian Joshua Turek is the writer of two poetry books. His debut collection "On the Outside Looking Up" was signed and mailed to fans in all 50 states and in countries dotting the globe.

This follow up, "Of Dumb Importance" catalogues Turek's optimism and dread amid a home life fractured by natural disaster and unnatural capitalism. He charts the parallels of a Millennial's midlife crisis alongside global ones. Through the flames of his interrogation he keeps returning to the all importance of love and humor and the blessedness of public transportation.

Joshua Turek has been called a less problematic Charles Bukowski meets The Big Lebowski by a stranger on the internet. A stand up comic, he headlines clubs, bars, and laundromats possibly even in a city near you.
