The dark and surreal take form in the poems of this collection, shifting between humor and horror even while exploring the everyday world—or the everyday as it appears to be. The poet brings the familiar into a different light, revealing the strangeness of what the reader thinks they know, while at other times fully embracing the absurd and fantastic. From the usual thrills and mystery of murder, infidelity, and suicide, the poems also take on shapeshifters, six-legged dogs, fallen cities, and steampunk airships, and always present are the shadows that define each person’s feelings, thoughts, and ultimately who they are.
