HURTLING TOWARDS INEVITABILITY is poet Robert Barton's first book. A haunting writer whose world is described by wrong turns, dark avenues and no exits, and peopled by characters with a beauty corrupted by circumstance, Barton creates within the pages of this book a work apocryphal in its message and lyrical in its execution. These verses are wrought from the fabric of a gritty reality and a life that has seen the full weight of hard times. A genuinely eerie and compelling volume.
