You Cannot Count Smoke Harvill Secker attempting not to order tripe

attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant

As Toru navigates campus life and loneliness

and lack of direction

an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem

With his twin sister

You Cannot Count Smoke Harvill Secker attempting not to order tripeThese little poems are my orphaned children, with no book or anthology to call their home (until now) due to their mysterious, even surrealist, qualities that have begun to occupy my writing in a gradual but certain way. The ambivalences of love, depression, mortality you will find all of these themes here, all grounded in a perspective that remains, I hope, fiercely introspective and personal. ~ Cyril Wong
