Z. D. Dicks Knihy

In Vexed, a series of unexpected protagonists face dramatic challenges, exploring the human condition with its trials and tribulations, longings and aversions, fears and excitements in a collection of richly lyrical and vividly imagined poems. Dicks takes the reader into fantastical yet convincing worlds to explore our darkest secrets and inner conflicts. Themes include the sometimes tortuous nature of desire, the examination of death, and the painful experience of being ghosted. The collection details a quasi-sexual attitude to violence and addresses intimate concerns head-on in charged, beautifully wrought, and fiercely original poems. These poems confront the perhaps irresolvable conflicts, questions, and dilemmas in our lives, making it a book for anyone who has ever felt vexed.
