Collected Contraptions

Comprising work from Peter McCarey's five pamphlet collections, this poetic exploration is an exhilarating journey of language. Reflecting the author's European outlook and wide range of influences-from Russian poet Alexandr Blok to the principles of Buddhism-this account describes a sci-fi spaghetti Western, narrates the story of a shady Czech who smuggles a golem and a robot into pre-massacre Rwanda, and voyages to other unexpected places. Poetry lovers will relish this original and experimental work.
