Letters to Guns

<i>Letters To Guns</i> represents a collection of poems that examine the para-physical natures of love and history at times re-imagining both. As the poems progress eight letters arrive written by non-human addressees (a nightgown a grove of trees a wooden spoon others) at random points over the last 2200 years. They are messages from home and pleas for understanding warnings and promises of change. These in turn ignite other poems and themes which anticipate the next arrival. Taken together the letters form an armature a living skeleton fleshed by real and metaphenomenal experience. Throughout a variety of styles appear and no single approach to poetry pervades. Singly these poems should challenge and entertain. As a group they must transform and evolve our experience of sitting down with a book of poems.
