Biff Mitchell's Blog: Writing Hurts Like Hell

Normally, you would expect books of short fiction and not-poems to be connected by similar themes boring you a hundred different ways through reams prose and not-poetry with the same message strangling every word and image with endless variations on the same theme.

Not this book.

This book will scatter your mind over a jagged bed theme avoidance like ice and fire.

And you’ll never be that same.
