Sweet, like Rinky-Dink (Paperback)

Paperback. Sometimes metaphysical, sometimes apparently confessional, sometimes challenging, often hilarious, Mark Waldron's poems take you by the arm and usher you in to a dark/light, funny/sad, silly/serious world which is exactly what the actual world looks like if you creep up on it and take it by surprise. As human beings living in society were supposed to keep what we really think hidden, but the poems of Sweet, like Rinky-Dink want to look at the absurdity behind our posturing, because in looking at it squarely in the face we might hope to have some freedom from it. Sweet, like Rinky-Dink is Mark Waldrons fourth collection, following Meanwhile, Trees (2016), published by Bloodaxe, The Brand New Dark (2008) and The Itchy Sea (2011), both from Salt. Mark Waldrons fourth collection shows his always surreal work delivering even more surprises as he depicts the absurdity behind the posturing of human beings in society. Sometimes metaphysical, sometimes apparently confessional, often hilarious, they show our lives as both funny and sad, dark and light, silly and serious.
