Industrial Madness

Description:

A small collection of poems that are both diverse in various ways yet tie together quite well. Some poems may elicit a sense of the surreal, causing mild discomfort (or perhaps more than mild...) while others bring out vague yet frightening monsters, visions and nightmares that haunt and induce fear. Other poems may seem more "traditional" in their confessional style yet may describe inescapable existential crises that readers have described as leaving one exhausted. However the ending might surprise readers in a very different way. The collection is not large but it packs a punch.
