I Heard Something

Poetry. In her uncompromising follow-up to 2012's Sympathy Loophole, Jaime Forsythe offers a breathless cascade of evocative somethings: mysterious sounds, faint rumblings, biographies real and imagined, tabloid rumours, nagging memories, an animal stirring, a baby waking, a storm threatening, an escape hatch beckoning, and an inexplicable machine coughing into motion somewhere in the distance. The poems in I HEARD SOMETHING comprise a surreal menagerie -- funny, chilling, tender -- of what it is to be a human at this very minute. Cup a hand around your ear as you read this book -- it'll enhance the experience.
