Death Magazine is a unique and thought-provoking exploration of our modern culture, where soundbites, snippets, and digital and print magazines dominate our lives. It employs the Dadaist technique of cut-up to create a diverse range of poems that span from the blackly comic to the surreal, from the nonsensical to the prescient.

Many of the poems in Death Magazine confine themselves to the precise aesthetics of magazine columns, completely eliminating line breaks to find new meaning in their Modernist forms. In addition, the magazine includes a range of free verse poems that are more traditional in form.

The goal of this extraordinary hybrid of styles, blending fact and fiction, is to replicate the untrustworthy, hyperbolic stream of media that permeates our daily lives. Through its radical approach, Death Magazine creates a futuristic landscape of human emotion as a product, a pink, shattered diamond that refracts our chaotic times.

This thought-provoking and innovative magazine is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of our modern culture and the ways in which poetry can capture the essence of our times.
