Zeugma — Kevin Mills

£9.99
As unfailingly playful as it is erudite, Kevin Mills distinctive voice brims with wit and allusion. Impatient with words, he breaks them and spaces them, showing the reader stray new meanings. The gaps and spaces on the page let the brave reader in. Perceptive, elegant and highly accomplished, this is poetry to return to repeatedly for the shifts in meaning and depth.
He can have nothing to say to me
about suffering.His looped and windowed flesh
letting through stained light.I burn in the cloud-
ed night; graft a few stripsof my skin,
he’s healed.
