Quarantine: & :Contagion

90pp.  Laminated stiff card covers,  8vo.  Very gentle edge wear to card covers else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Two sequences of poems and narrative lines which together amount to a complete story of stark world of violence and disease, a ghostly dead man's series, like a reworking of Bergman's The Seventh Seal.  The language is steeped in history's strange temporality, running back and forth and hitting the present again and again.  The river is any river, the plague could be any plague and the time could certainly be the present day.
