Description
The poems in "Cloudfish" not only focus on the shifting qualities of water and trans-Atlantic relationships but also on wider processes of metamorphosis, travel and change. This chapbook gathers together new work and poems from John McCullough's debut pamphlet "Unplugged at Cafe Atlantic".
Reviews / Votes
' In these poems, pin-sharp insight is combined with surreal cameos of a flouncy, eccentric city where anything could happen - even the clouds are raiders 'stealing in from the Downs'.The backdrop is magnificent views of the sky and a sense of eavesdropping on the old gods hiding there. His writing is compelling and will do your spirit good.'Jackie WillsMore details
