Singing About Melon by Luke Thompson explores the complexities of sense and silence through a diverse range of themes. The poems deploy unexpected imagery, from eels to mechanical squirrels, to examine bodily identity, grief, and the divine.

This collection invites readers to engage with its unique blend of the sayable and the unsayable. With poems that bore and drill into the reader's mind, Singing About Melon is a rare and exhilarating book that will appeal to those who appreciate its distinctive voice.
