Synopsis

Semmens’ startling new collection is a sequence of surreal fantasies in which famous figures from (mostly) the past – sometimes singly, sometimes in unlikely pairings – make incongruous, anachronistic appearances in modern settings and situations, or in episodes from times not their own. Incongruous and laugh-out-loud funny, the poems delight the reader, yet much darker elements are at play.
