About the Book
Young & Reckless is an anthology of essays and art showcasing the work of more than 25 emerging and established writers, photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers. Drawing inspiration from the freedom of youth, this collection explores what it’s like to come of age in America—from tales of robbery, adolescent angst, and one-night stands to high-speed car chases, fistfights, and drug-fueled benders. Young & Reckless was designed and edited by Matthew Newton in the summer/fall of 2004. Young & Reckless was the first book published by Poison Control and is currently out of print.
Limited Edition
Handmade, individually numbered, and limited to a print run of only 250 copies, Young & Reckless was manufactured in Kinloch, Pennsylvania and production was completed nearby in the Electric Valley. This edition was assembled using a ¼” wooden back cover, 70lb paper stock interior, 100% recycled card stock covers, and barn-salvaged ¾” walnut wood binding.
