I Watch A Fish Die In The 1950s is a collection that contains twenty four poems entitled 'I Watch A Fish Die In The 1950s' , one poem entitled 'Prelude' and one entitled 'Interlude'. The collection is sharp and inventive, subverting form at every opportunity. The landscape of the poetry is surreal, visceral, hysterical and funny, often all at once. Although at times wearing the guise of 'kitsch' the bones of the poems are rooted in timeless familiarity. There are echoes here and there of much beloved countercultural iconoclast Richard Brautigan and the form flaunting poet Tom Raworth. I Watch A Fish Die In The 1950s is a vibrant, unusual and remarkable collection of poetry that is a joyful foray into language and sound.
