Waterbearer

<p>Stuart McPherson's <em>Waterbearer</em> is a pamphlet dedicated 'to the survivors' focusing on an adult coming to terms with a traumatic childhood. McPherson's poetry is gripping and of immediate emotional depth with rawness and rough edges as if every line were painted black and tattooed to the page. Haunting and haunted like snow / for the beautiful dead <em>Waterbearer </em>is a remarkable pamphlet irrepressible like an asteroid tearing through the atmosphere leaving exit wounds.</p>
