Traum/A
Traum/A is an abecedarian catalogue of experimental, visual and prose poetry on the causes and symptoms of trauma. Reflecting both the light and dark of human experience, the work veers from harrowing to honesty and humour. Published by fifth wheel press on 16th May 2023.
The book can be ordered directly from fifth wheel press, but please note that the distributor, Shopify adds some hefty postage charges out of the US. The book is also available as a cheap PDF.
Unfortunately I have now run out of my author copies that I can sign or send, but if there’s sufficient demand I can contact the publisher for more. Do get in touch if you’d like one – my email details via the icon at the bottom of this and every page.
Book Launch
There was an online launch for Traum/A on Thursday 18th May, where I was joined by the wonderful writers nat raum, Leia Butler, Stuart McPherson, and Raegen Pietrucha reading their work. You can watch a recording of that launch below.
