Inhaltsangabe

Poetry. SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. WHAT? offers forty-plus vignettes, antic soundings in the ways of the world's maze and clue. Suspicions: hard to leave home without them. Circumstances: hard to escape them. Prose and poetry. Monologue and colloquy. The text steers between contemplating the demise of the vulture population in India and a video conference with Emily Dickinson, the sight of a Spanish pigeon parading itself as a parrot and the accusing sound of a crunched drink-can in the cinema. Its second half interrogates the implications of the word what. The what of what's what and the what of Hamlet's "To be or not to be."
