In this new collection, Owen Bullock asks 'what constitutes work for someone who must play in order to create?' It's a question addressed through formal contrast, aural unpredictability, and a genuine immersion of all the senses. Bullock combines prose and lineated poems with his love of language play, poems found in the fat air of conversation, and the contrasts that memory and experience conjure. With this is a genuine love of whimsy pushed to the absurd, and pushed again into poigniancy.
