A5, 32 pages, Risograph printing, Saddle stitched, Softcover, 2024

A kind of spiritual prequel to Ian Macartney’s poetry pamphlet sun-drunk, Darksong is for the lunar. Poems of the moon, circling round its glow – moon-ish feelings, too, just without that satellite. To be moon-eyed; to be in love, then not. To whirl in the orbit. Sometimes the poems are funny (often they are not). The oldest is from 2014, but the most recent one appeared this year.
