Description
‘Antosh Wojcik’s electrifying Suburban Locust is a pilgrimage through suburbia where fathers become blimps, deities have shark heads, and the air buzzes with the sound of a million worries. This surreal world feels rooted, tangibly and emotionally real, and it keeps bumping into an urgent question: how can you save someone who is their own cataclysm? Brutal and tender at once, this is a collection you won’t want to miss.’ Bohdan Piasecki
‘This amber-studded collection is polished yet weather-beaten, novelistic in range and depth, the narrative forms and reforms into taut poetic gems. Through the cracks beneath the astroturf, we glimpse the Polish history behind this once nuclear family.’ Hannah Silva
‘Some of my favourite collections of poetry construct tangible worlds from dazzling language and a near effortless sense of invention. Antosh Wojcik’s Suburban Locust tops my list of new favourites, with surreal propulsion and a breakneck pace that never leaves the reader behind, somehow manifesting the strange and the intimately familiar in the same turn.’ Jacob Sam-La Rose
‘Like James Tate, but drunk.’ Roger Robinson
