Description
Poetry. BRICKED BATS is simultaneously a poetic examination of the quotidian and the mundane, the use of repetition of image and metaphor, and the ways thought and feeling can be recycled and how metamorphosis can be applied to our patterns of perception. BRICKED BATS is nothing "else than an illegible book portraying an expanse of nothing out of something."
