Seattle Collection: Fiction & Poetry

Seattle Collection is Oscar O'Rourke's first collection of short fiction and poetry. A "deeply personal" and idiosyncratic work, Seattle Collection contains seven original and inventive stories that range from horror to surrealism to drama--and which often gel all three together, while his poems mix frank emotions with stunning lyricism and imagery. The book is capped off by his acclaimed epic poem The Bridge in My Grandmother's House, which is written in rhyming free verse and includes elements of horror, fantasy, and mythology.
