In Seriously Jack Solloway hopscotches the delicate boundary between comedy and catastrophe, inviting an exploration of the slapstick connection between the poetic persona and the unfortunate man-hole they inevitably stumble through. This pamphlet boldly plays with various poetic forms, from sestinas, mirror writing, and anagrams to dialogue, concrete poetry, and illustrated verses. Some poems bear the weight of their ambitious design, such as a twelve-line sonnet missing its couplet in 'Queen Mab', or the flighty ballad in 'Fible-fable', which playfully leads readers astray into nonsense.


Throughout, Solloway's poems reside in intriguing grey areas, aiming to engage readers and implicate them in various ways, juggling elements of his own life experiences while maintaining the sense of irony and hypocrisy they entail. Seriously will seriously captivate you with its imaginative interplay of comedy and misfortune as Solloway pushes the boundaries of poetic expression with both daring experimentation and personal introspection.

Solloway, Jack: - Jack Solloway is a writer from the West Midlands living in London. His poetry has appeared in Poetry Birmingham Literary Journal and Poetry Wales; his prose in the London Magazine, TLS, and Modern Poetry in Translation among others.
