Dream-Beauty-Psycho

Exploring themes of desire, retro style, and the complexities of modern life, this collection features poems that intertwine religion, marriage, and fantasy with a cinematic flair. Todd Swift's work reflects a unique blend of personal and cultural allusions, echoing the influences of Freud and the notable events of 2016, including the losses of Bowie and Cohen. The collection pays homage to contemporary poets Denise Riley and Derek Mahon, celebrating their eloquence and further enriching Swift's dynamic poetic universe.
