Author: de Parry, Zan
The poems in Zan de Parry’s debut collection, 'Cold Dogs', teeter between deadpan humour and heartbreak. Coupled with the poet's deceptively simple line drawings, these questioning and conversational poems operate on the sidelines of reason, dictated by human instinct. For readers familiar with the poems of Richard Brautigan & James Tate, Parry similarly travels in the bizarre, absurd, and existential, populating his poems with brilliant moments of heartfelt reverie and amusement. The matter-of-factness of the world perceived in 'Cold Dogs' introduces a compelling and exciting sensibility to contemporary poetry. Zan de Parry lives in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and is a road dog for a tractor auction based out of southern Illinois. He has published multiple chapbooks including 'Vibraphone' (Brest Press), 'Hennie' (Tabloid Presse) and 'History, Memory, Love, America, Syllogism' (Amateur Press). He also runs Keith LLC with his brother Matthew Hodges, with whom he co-authored the full-length 'Austerity Brunch' (Keith LLC).
ISBN 9798987828861. The Song Cave. pb. 112 pages. 10 b/w ills. 19.1 x 14 cm.
