Citidyll

Citidyll front cover

Citidyll is "a rip roaring ride through the decaying heart of the modern metropolis. Rythmically complex and infused with the Wasteland's heap of broken images heaped onto yet more broken images, Citidyll confirms a grave suspicion: the nightmare of the dystopia is full realised and it is where we are living right now. Exuberant and stylish poetry from a huge new talent." — from the publisher
