SYNOPSIS

Part family romance, part archive of lost film, part experimental joke-book, this collection brings together for the first time Nick Potamitis’ three semi-autobiographical serial poems, written between 2004 and 2009. First published in pamphlet form and small press magazines, these playful, painful sequences explore the interweaving legacies of personal and cultural history, the two forever running at different speeds on the same projector.

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK

“A poetry for those who delight in linguistic fireworks, dizzy-making holes in the path. Mastery of the recherché word. You don’t believe they exist but they do, they’re history. Keep your Google by your side and you’ll be all right. ” —Peter Riley

“Full of surprising jags, like a boxful of polystyrene chips packed out with bone china for maximum transit damage.” —Chris Goode
