J D Shaw’s latest work is a book of short texts and poems Injected with venom and vengeance, beauty and bitterness, “Spit it out!” leads us through dark evocative memories to some truly wicked tantrums.
From crusty inner-city streets to drought-busted dairy farms, from wine-soaked afternoons to psychotic all-night backgammon binges. “Spit It Out!” represents J.D. Shaw’s peculiar angle on a very angular, peculiar world.
