This book provides a contrast between a worldly life of learning and pleasure. This is not merely a book of poetry, but a serene place to align our minds with a union of words and images. Here, all the poems have their own melody which deal with simplicity of language, written on themes as mortality, love, life, death, the relationship of human spirit to the senses and so on. Imagery here is almost tangible; every image having a stamp of reality. It is meant to be a reminder to the readers of life's mystical elements, its beauty and darkness where truths are directed towards an undefined freedom, that each can partake.

Comic ventriloquist and satirist, Lachlan Werner's first full poetry collection combines research in ethics and evolutionary biology, gonzo journalism and memoir to explore human sexuality. With his signature sharpness, flippancy, mild darkness and subversive style-along with striking illustrations-Werner stirringly captures the delight, confusion, loneliness and finally, hope, in the experience of 21st century 'queerness'. Here is the story of the Young Clown and the Blue Eyed Boy: Raw, funny, bittersweet-a tale that's gay without glitter.

His "black dog"--that was how Winston Churchill referred to his own depression. Today, individuals with feelings of sadness and irritability are encouraged to "talk to your doctor." These have become buzz words in the aggressive promotion of wonder-drug cures since 1997, when the Food and Drug Administration changed its guidelines for the marketing of prescription pharmaceuticals. Black Dogs and Blue Words analyzes the rhetoric surrounding depression. Kimberly K. Emmons maintains that the techniques and language of depression marketing strategies--vague words such as "worry," "irritability," and "loss of interest"--target women and young girls and encourage self-diagnosis and self-medication. Further, depression narratives and other texts encode a series of gendered messages about health and illness. As depression and other forms of mental illness move from the medical-professional sphere into that of the consumer-public, the boundary at which distress becomes disease grows ever more encompassing, the need for remediation and treatment increasingly warranted. Black Dogs and Blue Words demonstrates the need for rhetorical reading strategies as one response to these expanding and gendered illness definitions.
