Panic Attacks, a new pamphlet from If A Leaf Falls Press

If A Leaf Falls Press has published Panic Attacks, an assortment of short prose poems that I wrote during panic attacks and other heightened states of anxiety over the years. Talk about a procedurally generated text!

It is a limited edition of 70 pamphlets and can be bought directly from If A Leaf Falls and selected bookshops, including Typewronger in Edinburgh.

The publisher’s blurb: “Panic Attacks is a sparse, stricken collection of poems-in-prose, like utterances from solitary outpost. Jinxed, self-questioning, the poems are impossible drafts for some yet-to-be-realised coherence: phone calls when your phone's been stolen, a book that fell off a shelf. The landscape is of shut-down cities, shops that never opened, matches that didn't happen, aerials that resemble human figures, and underneath it a kind of elemental entropy: leaves, drizzle, sleep...”

Thanks to Sam Riviere for helping me bring this odd project to life.
