This chapbook of poetry is both an exploration of the uncanny, and an intimate retelling of timeless life experiences. An Imp-man in a Sea of Phlegm is an experiment of what it means to be able to beautify that which is repulsive or unnerving to most. Drawing upon classic themes and pop culture, every detail of this chapbook contributes to the overall work: a loosely-woven narrative of pain and strained freedom.
