Allusive and associative, anti-capitalist and unapologetically political, aligned somewhere between comedy and anger, these poems juxtapose the triumphs and tragedies (mostly tragedies) of our current age with those of history, and - by wondering 'Where are they?' - explores the questions of where we are now and where we might be going.
In prose poems whose lines strive to be as interesting, alive, and determined to connect as a YouTube comment, and in the aphoristic and observational vein of the best stand-up comedy, Kathleen Rooney's Where Are the Snows is a funny-sad send-up of the absurdity of existence.
