Casting Shadows
Description
Casting Shadows collects for the first time the twisted poetry of Troy Harkin, wherein you will find yourself among scalpers, neck bags, and nocturnal sheep that hate you. Clive Thompson (Smarter Than You Think) once described Harkin's verse as "Carnival of Mayhem" poetry. That works. In fact, Troy Harkin suffers under the influences of Richard Brautigan, Nick Cave, and the koans of latter—day Dudeism. Language is both his Lego blocks of lust and monster truck of love. He's versatile that way.
