A 'suicide' of Cigarette Crows, their names: Jaggery, Pricken, Crippish, Wigs and Pigskin; Sackclove, Muttony; Outrance, Gutter; Pannage, and Corrosion; Qualm, LadyGin, Black-as-Hearts, Scunyard; Amble Man, Tattogey and, with no feathers to shed, The Starveling . . .

An extensively annotated and footnoted experimental mix of prose and poetry.

"I'm not sure I've read anything like this before. It stunned me, baffled me, full of dark beauty and strange ideas. A miniature masterpiece" [E.A Burrows]

"Genre defying, darkly comic, and a triumph of the possibilities of language. Comparisons with Nicholson Baker, Pessoa and Borges abound" [Patrick Hell]
