“Operation Staffhound,” by Philippe Atherton-Blenkiron

Hey, gang — if you missed its appearance last week over at The Bees Are Dead, here is the audio for my reading of Philippe Atherton-Blenkiron’s “Operation Staffhound.”  The poem is from his superb 2014 dystopian science fiction novel in poetry format, “The Pustoy.”

“Operation Staffhound” describes the brutal domestic police force employed by Lev Solokov, the future dictator of Britain and the novel’s central antagonist.

“Our Drive Home,” by Eric Robert Nolan

On our drive home,
your voice was song. Your lips
pursed to form the perfect overture.
