Austin Davis

Lotus & The Apocalypse

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How would you feel if today was your last day on Earth? Lotus is the part of yourself you're afraid and ashamed by, all the bad thoughts you shove inside the back closet in an empty room in the darkest corner of your brain. This 18-poem literary/visual arts collection explores themes such as death, sex, drugs, drinking, honesty, and the after-life. With rock 'n' roll flare and an appreciation for nature, Austin Davis unravels everything from teenage degeneracy to the cosmos in under 50 pages. Grateful acknowledgement is made to Myla K. Smart from the Etsy shop @ArtnNeedles for providing phenomenal artwork, as well the editors of the following publications where some of these poems first appeared: *** Button Poetry, Emerge Literary Journal, Ghost City Press, Maudlin House, Okay Donkey Magazine, and The Tempe Writers Forum

Autorenporträt

Austin Davis doesn't know who the hell Lotus is. He got really high one night and wrote this book. Austin is a poet and activist, studying creative writing at ASU and leading Arizona Jews For Justice's unsheltered outreach program, AZ Hugs For the Houseless. Davis is also the author of The World Isn't the Size of Our Neighborhood Anymore (Weasel Press, 2020) and Celestial Night Light (Ghost City Press, 2020). His new album of jazz-poetry about homelessness, in collaboration with Joe Allie, is called Street Sorrows out on all streaming services. Davis likes late nights at dive bars with people he'd die for, skateboarding down a hill after sunset with his eyes closed, and trying his best not to be too sad about the state of humanity.
