A chapbook of poems featuring a mix of long and short poems, including an exploration of BC's deadly maritime history (with some unexpected twists!), a "cynical poem" about West Edmonton Mall, a series of cantos about smoking regulations, and a meditation on visiting a grandparent lost in dementia. "Dead in the Water" offers insight to little-known histories, critical thinking about reactive politics, tenderly raunchy expressions of love, melancholy reflections on loss, and, as always, heavy doses of wry wit and outrageous humour.
Every copy of "Dead in the Water" also comes with a download code for Love Your Weird Live @ Queen's Poetry Slam.
