David Estringel

The ninth chapbook from back room poetry.

This is what Mike Zone, the EIC of Dumpster Fire Press had to say about Golden Calves:

David Estringel’s GOLDEN CALVES render the mundane mythic with junkies, a boy with a box full of wasps on a blood honey night at the devil’s hour…poems for our days.

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

Slam

Disturbing white calm, 
lightning strikes  
conjure storms 
in coffee cups  
and sleepy inkwells, 
baptizing words 
in snaps  
and rolling alliterations— 
obliterations— 
of sweet ether 
and strums 
of liars’ strings. 
Drops 
of fire 
on wanting eardrums
(and moistened seats)
sharpen sterling tongues
like whetstones
to a razor’s kiss
for a night’s slice
and dice.
How cuts flow, sweetly.
