JUNE 4, 2024 -- PORTLAND, OREGON: SKULL KINGDOMS: AN IMAGINARY OMBINUS by Matthew Burnside offers us an oblique collection of poetic games complete with explicit instructions on how each piece should be read. A series of meditations on imagining, pretending, unsleeping, dreaming, and, ultimately, escaping by waking unto new selves, Skull Kingdoms is in communion with the vicious, big tent circus that is growing up.
