The Death of the Sentence

By Richard Doyle

The death of the sentence is the debut role of the writer; the plight of the poetry pamphlet; an inventive homage; science in the novel; science fiction in the real world; prose spaceship and singular music; both fun-

 

Simple in style yet steeped in emotion, I recommend The death of the sentence for poetry newbs and aficionados alike - Dystopic

 

I would heartily recommend this pamphlet to writers both struggling and successful, as something that will help you through those tricky days when your life is full of plot holes, but your brain is empty of words. And on the days you need a smile and stiff drink, check out "The Multifarious Moons of Saturn." - Maria Sinclair, Mai's Musings
