It's not poetry, it's formatting. Australian author, Morgan Bell, squeezes through the crawlspace of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. A verse debut from a microfiction craftsperson. "A stunningly original series of poems that are as visually beautiful as they are emotionally haunting. Rich with idioms, the phrases are often subverted to be both a familiar ghost of the original and unsettlingly fresh. The work is intensely concrete - words fading, moving down a funnel, in columns, weaving, waving - creating a structural narrative that makes its own, non-lingual meaning. An exciting poetry collection full of surprise and rich, visual, rhythmic, and semantic treats.” - Magdalena Ball, Compulsive Reader
