Description
Michael Lista's third collection in a decade, Barfly is a reinvention of poetry with humour, pugnacity and a deeply singular voice. The poems blend Byronic rhymes and Auden's meters with twenty-first century irreverence, resulting in alternatingly aggressive, sweet, deadly and raw works.
The result is a collection that is both personal and universally relatable, tackling themes of love, loss and the human condition with unflinching honesty. With its unique blend of style and substance, Barfly is a compelling addition to any poetry collection.
