Snatch

By (author): Judy MacInnes Jr.

‘Snatch’ is a hilarious and creepy collection of poems that may not even be poetry at all. Like a comic novel from an alternate universe, or a fragmented hoax of an autobiography, ‘Snatch’ picks at the vacuous horror of suburbia and exposes a world of small beauty and perfect moments amid TV-induced nostalgia and impending violence. In her mysterious and funny debut, everybody’s favourite Surrey grrrl, Judy MacInnes Jr. makes the complex seem simple, the simple complex, and she has anunearthly talent for making the reader laugh out loud while doing it.

“Even if you hate poetry, ‘Snatch’ goes down kind of like a root beer float, all frothy and fizzy and real smooth.” – The Coast
