A Fabulous Beast of Burden Sebastian Jerome Lloyd

Sebastian Jerome Lloyd describes his work as a kind of post-industrial, slipstream surrealism that seeks to find an aesthetic balance between elegance and unease. The poems in this volume are reflections on memory - how it wars with itself, how it can distort the present moment, and how it attempts to express itself through snippets of language, sound, and mixed imagery. There is an earthy sort of strangeness to these poems that emerges best as they are read aloud.
