Normally, you would expect books of short fiction and not-poems to be connected by similar themes boring you a hundred different ways through reams of prose and not-poetry with the same message strangling every word and image with endless variations on the same theme.
This book will scatter your mind over a jagged bed of theme avoidance like ice and fire.
And you’ll never be that same.
The Amazon Canada price on the print version of this book is atrocious. I suggest you get the ebook version and, if you don’t have a Kindle, then download the free Kindle reader to your phone or tablet.
(BTW, the print version seems to have disappeared from Amazon Canada. You can order from other venues through the publisher at: https://books2read.com/u/3L2rWM)
Amazon .COM, Barnes & Noble, Apple and just about every other platform are much less a kick in the balls than Amazon.ca.
