• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of poems by Robin Magowan represent moments such as a child mat-riding on Red Flag day, and drug overdoses during an affair with a terrorist dragon lady. It aims to take the reader inside, using an instinctive notation to register his fascination with sensation, movement and colour.
