S. G. Mallett

The fourth chapbook from back room poetry.

Here is a short blurb –

Propped roughly between the twin fields of historiography and historiology, the strawman argument of intensionality scares away symbionts from the matter. Objects are shared poems about them. Poems are the conversations of what we thought we saw. The text is as much written in your reading as it is an assemblage of linearity; would you mind looking through your closet for another hat? Theirs was blown away in the wind and lost to the elements. 

Here is a taster poem from the chapbook to arouse your poetry appetite:

The Fall

As fit for consonance and hewn from the sill,
sliced, or wherever stones derive from, and still
as the day you first picked it for its worth,
a stone. I cup the shape; if Zeno, in their airs,
got their maths right, then, once in flight, a thing
may neither land nor fall again to earth.
When flung to win, a die errs whose side wears
its square round and fine for skipping.
