Description

This debut collection from Pete Donohue is a raw and unflinching exploration of life's darker corners. With references to iconic figures like Bukowski, Hunter S Thompson, and Bob Dylan, the poems in Swallowing Paregoric Babies assault the senses with clarity and openness.

The book defies easy categorisation, veering from brutal and hostile terrain to soft tenderness and empathy. Poems like 'she don't lie' and 'bullfrog love' showcase Donohue's ability to balance humour and pathos. With its unrepentant honesty and refusal to shy away from difficult subjects, this collection is a formidable read.

Read the poems that make up Swallowing Paregoric Babies, including 'richard's bay window', 'a real poet', and 'forever', to experience Donohue's unique voice and perspective. A standout in the small-press poetry scene, this book will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
