The poems were mostly written during lock-down as a way to try and stay sane while the world lost its collective mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Accessibility has shaped the way I write and perform. I’ve always resisted the idea that poetry should be a puzzle you need a 50k education to unlock. Early on I knew I wanted this to be the kind of poetry collection anyone could pick up and be drawn into immediately. With that in mind it was really important to add a visual element to the text.” — Dominic\u003cbr\u003e“I saw this project as an opportunity to experiment. To rethink the rules we set for consistency and to challenge typesetting conventions of literature and poetry. Ultimately I wanted to give each of Dominic’s poems their own sense of identity by playing with pace, space, size and tension. An awesome collaboration with a very talented friend.” — Trudi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Expensive Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45547138416863,"sku":"9781738618217","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2185\/3151\/files\/9781738618217.jpg?v=1744078531","url":"https:\/\/lamplightbooks.pro\/products\/the-dead-are-always-laughing-at-us","provider":"Lamplight Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
