ON THE NATURE OF FLESH (AND THE FLESH OF NATURE) is a youthful mix of extended metaphor, low humour, rambles about nature, society, capitalism, queer politics and anything else that the poet feels at least mildly strong about.

"I have discovered a country inside a pomegranate"
- John R. Carpenter
note from the reluctant poet
All poetry teachers tell you to throw the first hundred attempts you make away. Having discovered that I'm something of a hoarder, I have instead rescued a few of those doomed lines and collected them together in a book, if only to have a record of how far I've come to look back on later in my career as a writer. It's an eclectic mix of extended metaphor, early adulthood feelings and low comedy, which all represent a stop on the journey to where I am today. I hope you enjoy.
