Point Spread Poems

The collection gathers short, image-driven poems that move between domestic memory, travel fragments, and gambling and card-game metaphors, shifting among seaside and urban landscapes, mythic allusion, and tactile details such as tattoos, animals, and everyday objects. Language is sensory and collage-like, juxtaposing nostalgia with abrupt surreal touches, exploring chance, desire, and mortality through condensed vignettes. Some pieces read as ekphrastic scenes or personal reveries; others employ playful shifts in voice and perspective to examine longing, loss, and the workings of memory. The overall effect is a fragmented, associative lyricism that privileges mood and image over narrative continuity.
