“RENTED MULE is a tight and original collection. The chapbook is printed on textured, pale of grey paper and is beautiful to hold.”
--George Anderson, Bold Monkey ​

“This slim collection of unadorned, narrative poems... and dark, heartbreaking drawings... belongs in the back pockets of all who suffer the soul-crushing teeth of the daily or nightly grind.”
—Rob Plath, Ax For The Frozen Sea

“Wolf Carstens takes us down the dark avenues of a strange world and the haunting reverberations of the MegaMart, the hopelessness of being a "rented mule." Janne Karlsson's artwork enhances this strange and supercharged landscape.”
​—Tony Moffeit, ​Pueblo Blues

“RENTED MULE is a book by two mad bastards who have obviously waded through the shit, and in the reading I am strengthened in my own walk through the narrow and blocked up sections within the bowels of life.”
​—Mathew J. Hall, Screaming with Brevity

“This book will make a person think, laugh and maybe cry. It should be mandatory to read! It will reach into your psyche and rip the brain in a good way.”
​—Sam Stemens
