“Plainspeak is the highly anticipated second collection by Astrid Alben. In these startling poems, readers will experience Alben’s unorthodox alter-ego-thinking-out-louder approach with the same exhilaration as they might engage with art or jazz.
Plainspeak reinvents play and logic, is poignant, humorous, absurd and anguished: a book for and of the times we live in.”
An exhilarating collection of poems with run-on lines travelling at the speed of thought through the landscapes of both the interior mind and the physical outer world, all the while offering exciting insights and reflections.
