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.
