James Domestic is an Acquired Taste

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Not all poetry behaves itself - and James Domestic has no interest in making it try. Within these pages the ordinary slips out of situ. Narratives get a bit wonky, objects misbehave, and convention absconds.A TV legend may be a residential menace, and a smart speaker might develop a grudge. A rock band could be mistaken about what it actually is, and the Poetry Police may have secured an arrest warrant...Domestic's world feels just close enough to ours to be unsettling - and just strange enough to be very funny indeed. There is wit and mischief running through these poems; a refusal to take language, love, or even the self too seriously.A collection for readers who enjoy the offbeat, the surreal, and the utterly ridiculous aspects of our everyday lives.
