Sticky

Sticky is a book of poems about an age of imperial slaughter already sticky with blood and lies. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but depleted uranium really hurts us.Sticky is a book about the stuck and the sticky, the straight and the crooked. Armed with only a pile of spooky sticks and a sticky file of spooks, Andy Croft sets off in search of the Land of Righteousness. He gets the wrong end of the stick in Vulgaria and finds himself in a sticky situation in Mudfog. When he meets the ghosts of Brecht, Bunyan and Baron Munchausen by the banks of the river Styx he realizes he can't stick it any more. This is poetry for the pessimistick.
