Misprint - Womack, James

. .

Résumé :
An exciting and ambitious debut, this collection explores countries and languages through the eyes of youth and loss. It plays with ideas of tradition, lightly evoking significant themes, with a bow to pulp culture. Moving between real places, such as Russia, Spain, and North Korea, these poems also journey through virtual environments, memories, and dreams.
