Description

54 Questions for the Man Who Sold a Shotgun to My Father is the second pamphlet by British-born Irish poet Joe Carrick-Varty. “Atmospheric, suffused with the blue light of other people’s televisions, these poems, while often devastating, possess a tremendous warmth.

Carrick-Varty takes an object/a loved one/a particular moment in time and carefully turns it over and over in his hands.

This pamphlet is open-hearted, thoughtful — painfully, beautifully alive to the world and its strange specifics" — Ella Frears"Joe Carrick-Varty's poems don't need permission from anybody.

Their exceptional and beautiful vulnerability is a permission all of its own.

Each poem contained here demonstrates a mind completely awake to the sadnesses and risks of intimacy, and awake to finding an original vocabulary for articulating these things.

A brilliant short collection. I'm utterly convinced of this poet's talent." —Wayne Holloway-Smith
