The Prettyboys of Gangster Town by Martin Grey Gaia Holmes not as contemporary fashion might

not as contemporary fashion might have it be

Cures is filled with strange characters: volcanic women

holding us ‘in the planet of its stare’

and his always masterful free verse conveys a life thoroughly lived and brilliantly perceived

and a chance for the blank page to finally speak for itself

Martin Grey explores growing up through time, circumstance and by growing out of 'masculinity'.
