Description
Poetry. "An unrepentant surrealist, James Cushing chisels his wizardry into a tool for tuning in, like a set of special specs... Imagine a voice with two kinds of eyes—one trained on the 'normal'; the other alert to the equally real, yet weirder, world we feel but may not see or say..."—Sarah Maclay
