Birthday Girl with Possum

"Brendan Constantine is a poet's poet. He sees life through a unique prism: at once lucid, elegant, and deeply humanistic." -- Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way Heartbreaking and hilarious poems reaffirming our youngest conclusions about the world. Known for his dreamy abstraction and the emotional ferocity on the page and on the stage, this is a birthday card from the phenomenal world to our wildest selves. No approach to writing (odes, codes, lectures, letters, tests and attendance sheets) is left unexploited as a means to poetry. This is his second collection.
