Author Description

Poetry. In this startling and energetic debut, Ben Parker explores real and imagined territories and reports back in poems that are both darkly funny and vividly descriptive. Combing conciseness with surreal lyricism, the worlds of THE AMAZING LOST MAN are at once strange and familiar, while the central sequence of Insomnia Postcards is a joyous clash of the quotidian and the bizarre. These poems have a subtle music and a confident voice.
