Love is a Shark

This book is a long-time project spanning 35 years, it contains 71 poems written between 1983 and 1989. The texts were after that taken from their archive once every decade, polished, often over the course of many weeks, to be then filed away again as revised versions - thereby being turned, over the years, into a kind of hyper-edit. This collection for the first time freezes the liquid of the manuscript into a more solid form, a 2017 snapshot of it. The result, metaphorically speaking, is something of a quilt stitched together using, as patches, disparate points in time.
