Plainspeak

Astrid Alben

Plainspeak is the highly anticipated second collection by Astrid Alben. In these startling poems, readers will experience Alben’s unorthodox alter-ego-thinking-out-louder approach with the same exhilaration as they might engage with art or jazz.

Plainspeak reinvents play and logic, is poignant, humorous, absurd and anguished: a book for and of the times we live in.
