Synopsis

Open the door of this book and step into the universe of Dermot Glennon, and you may not be able to get out again. You may not want to. You may want to get help. Arranged in broadly thematic chapters with style guide introductions and explanations of the underlying ideas and philosophies that led to the writing of the poems within, this book also benefits from a design that fits most standard bookshelves and coffee tables.

"Dermot's poetry is like a horror film. You want to hide but you can't stop yourself looking" - Rod Tame, Write Out Loud

"A mystery ranging from everywhere to nowhere, calling for an intelligent open mind. Funny, hard and relatable" - Lauren Bolger, Paradox

"Dermot Glennon's writing is like a picture by Escher, only funnier. Behind the formal mastery and strong sense of order lies real depth, sometimes constructed from a cleverly realised unreality.

"Hi, my name's Dermot.
I write macabre poems
all about death."
