A top notch collection of short stories and poems. I'm not sure how "Deadfall" fits into the writing but "Blues" is definitely covered. Love, life and death are covered and you experience a wide range of emotions whilst reading the stories. The opening one apart from having an awesome title "Requiem Blues" is the best in the collection, you can really feel the Protagonist's feelings as he comes to terms with his life and in "Deadfall Love" you feel some real anger in defence of Cynthia. There is one really short story in the middle that bugged me a bit it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the book, a brief dystopian story, it feels out of place and disrupted the flow. Other than that one, this is an amazing book.
The poetry is in the style I love, very short lines which you can read slowly or quickly and they work, it reminded me of poems by [a:M.J. Black|14668189|M.J. Black|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1447553243p2/14668189.jpg] one of my favourite poets.
