Domestic Economy

A note to US-based customers: All Lit Up is pausing print orders to the USA until further notice. Read more

A sequence of fifty dated poems, four quatrains each; lyrical arguments; quick thinking amid the rational absurdity of everyday machinery; intuitive explorations of unknown energies; a diary of the unconscious.

“Thoroughly accomplished in the exact, on-going articulate rhythms of its long lines, its syntax full to the edge with an intelligence always breaking into surprise.” – Stephen Ratcliffe
