The cover of my forthcoming chapbook, which will be published as part of the Salt Modern Voices series. It features a guy called Fleck, a bank, and poems which riff around themes of collapse, disintegration and disappearance via friends, virtual friends and obscure notes. Orignal lines square up to stolen ones, money makes a cameo appearance as a ghost, politicians leap into cauldrons of boiling fat, theology is done by mobile phone, and the Patron Saint of Plainsong Maledictions turns up with a little advice in song, which readers are welcome to singalong to if they wish. I also have a full collection coming out in 2013, although none of the poems in the chapbook will also feature in the collection.
There's not yet a definite publication date, but I'll let you know when that becomes clear. A good number of the other chapbooks in the series
can be found here. So far, I've read Neil Addison's
Apocapulco (for some reason, this doesn't seem to have its own page on the site) and Mark Burnhope's
The Snowboy, both of which were really good.
