Dominique Cypres

Dead Monochrome Doggerel Dominique Cypres

"so here we are / cutting the crap / and i promise you / i mean every word"



In a series of terse, direct poems, Dominique Cyprès guides readers through a meditation on the tensions between the unaddressed injustices of history and the untapped potential of the future, between unresolved conflicts of youth and diminishing possibilities of modern adulthood, between the inescapable fragility of life and the hope of new parenthood. Occupying a space that borders on the personal and the political, Dead Monochrome Doggerel places the poet's life, and the contemporary social moment, along the long, murky arc of history.
