A collection of six previously unpublished chapbooks by New York poet and bookseller Dave Morse, released by Sacred Bones Books. The work spans fragmented, meditative verse addressing place and psychology to noir-inflected narrative poetry and extended daybook journals documenting seven months of poetic responses to reading, listening, and reflection. Thematically preoccupied with psychological interiority, illness, dream, and the surreal texture of consciousness, Morse’s unmistakable voice moves across emotional terrain with what the publisher describes as ‘unhealth’ and alienation. Individually bound chapbooks are layered into a single volume with original artwork, forming an experimental assemblage exploring the interior space between conscious and unconscious experience. The work’s transgressive affect and introspective darkness align with the post-punk intellectual sphere’s investment in psychological fragmentation and resistant aesthetics.
