Sandsnarl, Paperback / softback Book

Sandsnarl Paperback / softback

Illustrated by Emma Dai'an Wright

Part of the The Emma Press Picks series

Paperback / softback

Description

Village of dunes. Valley of slumber-dust. Sandsnarl is a settlement steeped in sand – though where it came from and how long ago is a matter of tall tales and steely whispers.

The sand itself makes accurate record-keeping impossible.

It is drug, ore, plague and delicacy. The inhabitants of this region (or is it a fallen kingdom?) talk and think through its haze.

Some alter their shape, as if shaved by it. Others seethe, resisting its rattle and buzz. These poems eavesdrop, extract, sift. Together, they make up a brief impression of time and place, a Buñuelian musical without the music.
