What if Mad Magazine had an unholy lovechild with Salvador Dali and that child was raised on heaping doses of psychedelia and biting political satire. Well, you wouldn't even be scratching the surface of Christian McPherson's Screaming at the Sky. One part graphic novel, told through an intimate, cerebral narrative and one part artistic madness that leaves one longing for more. You've discovered one of the most exciting visual experiences, a journey to the centre of a mind so funny, so honest, so utterly electrifying that one must ask; have you found your way here by chance?Enjoy it, there are very few "first" experiences in life.
Over the course of a lifetime, we all experience catch-of-breath moments that stir exquisite awareness of life's transience. Such fleeting moments we share with poet Christian McPherson and his space-suited avatar negotiating bumpy terrain. In this collection the meandering, often self-deprecating poet considers and records moments of truth and insight common to us all as he registers his joys and regrets, and raises rants in postured outrage. A refreshing and often humorous honesty prevails. As the dedication promises, these poems are for those who go to a job every day but dream of something more. McPherson delivers.
