These lucid pieces range across wide subjects – sometimes dark, sometimes poignant, sometimes brutally realistic, sometimes achingly tender, but always united by an unmistakable voice and distinctive style. From the pared down punctuation to the crafted syntax and careful placing of every word, this is poetry that takes ready made language and makes it an art form that is bound to create a response.
