Niall Power's collection of poetry and short stories blurs the line between reality and the surreal in an entertaining, metaphorical manner.
Within the seventy-five poems included, the author's introspective observational style recounts his struggles with sobriety, relationships, and self-discovery.
Nine short stories round out the collection in raw, sarcastic glory. InDistance, a recovering addict finds himself addicted to a new drug he never expected - a smartphone app.Slap Nightexplores the pleasure in pain with a character whose existence is questionable.
These pieces and many more entertain and enlighten simultaneously and Power's remarkable ability to set a scene allows readers to feel each word.
