From flying fish and a prehistoric monster discovered on a market stall to a budgerigar-fancier mysteriously falling off a ladder and an obsessive goldfish collector, these poems are filled with characters and creatures who actually discover more about their existence outside of their familiar realms. This work addresses the eternal themes of love, loss, the fear of aging, and afterlife by questioning the legitimacy of boundaries. |
