A father-to-be making deals with a god of his own design; the after-effects of a child's murder upon a suburban neighbourhood; a teenage boy negotiating the many perils of high-school while trying to hide his family's faith; a woman aiming a rifle at her rapist and his family and making split-second choices – these subjects and many more make up the debut collection from S.M. Field, a poet singular in fearlessness and execution.
Through gritty language and stark imagery, S.M. Field navigates the messy complexities of relationships, politics, and personal struggles. From scathing critiques of societal norms to unapologetic reflections on identity and power dynamics, this collection will shock, provoke, and offer unique insights into our modern human condition.
