Description

A debut collection of innovative and experimental poetry from Northern Ireland.

Adam Crothers' Several Deer explores complex themes of destruction, consumption, and misogyny with rhythmic subtlety and verbal craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from Bob Dylan to Emily Dickinson, Crothers writes about gods, sex, failure, and rock & roll with unmistakable technical acuity. The poems are acrobatic, juggling homophones, puns, and allusions with dexterity.

For all their craft, the poems remain empathic and sincere, addressing real people with a cynic's ironizing compulsion. This collection is for poetry enthusiasts, readers of contemporary Northern Irish literature, and those seeking innovative and experimental verse. Several Deer doesn't take its sadness too seriously, listening to the hits and offering a unique voice in contemporary poetry.
