Overview

Poetry. Fiction. Short Stories. These moribund miniatures take the boundary between life and death as their playground, capturing the triviality and quotidian horror of being human. A darkly funny, wry, vivid set of poetic texts. This is doing the work poetry needs to be doing, it's about language itself as much as it's about the absurdity of our own physical lives and non-lives.--SJ Fowler
