About Super Worth It:

"These poems are about class without preaching or easy answers, about capitalism as it feels on the ground and in the gut. The collection begs the question of what the world is actually worth. Warnke gives us vividly concrete and metaphorical tools to answer—all that and more. In a bluntly colloquial voice, deftly phrased and smoothly turning, the poems in this splendid debut unobtrusively sing."
—Deborah Woodard

"Warnke skewers the insipid palliations of American consumer culture in this funny, surreal, and gleefully cynical collection. He writes of the absurdities of the banal with a vicious wit and timing of a stand-up comic. Super Worth It asks what is finally 'worth it,' exposing a commodified culture where the only thing 'redeemed' might be an online gift card, and where he assures us 'everything will be okay / if we expand our definition / of everything and okay.'"
