MOLD – Oscar Rodriguez

albanlow Tags: , , Leave a comment

—

With a growing stain, Mold follows the downward spiral of sexual addiction and its consequent ruin on the self. Fuelling the descent through abstraction, constraint poetry and visual stimulation; there is no denial of degeneracy. Laid between confessional and fictive, Mold is telling of a new wave of the sexual revolution. So, give in and melt your brain.

The Book of Matthew – Matthew J. Sokulsky

albanlow Tags: , , Leave a comment

In Matthew Sokulsky’s brilliant debut publication, religion remains unsimple. Revealed in a suite of poems as strange, jarring and complex as its namesake. Questioning, while enveloping religious realities, this booklet of surreal admiration celebrates the essentially human, eccentric and faith-ish in poems from a new voice in Australian and British literature.

Dream Red, the debut publication from poet Nina Fidry, is a remarkable collection of concrete and projective poems filled with abstract imagery and multi-lingual play.
