Ship of Theseus

by Christopher Willard

Ship of Theseus is brilliant new poetic work by Christopher Willard, published by Crisis Chronicles Press. Cover photo by Steven B. Smith.

"Prepare for an ascent into the maelstrom, where the huckleberries howl and butterflies twirl, caught in the F5 tornadoes they created 10,000 wingflaps ago. The pitch and yaw of the deck is so scintillating you'll know why Christopher typed this with his tongue, and you'll never guess it's a replacement crew until they sing a sick sea shanty explaining why there is something rather than nothing. Walking the plank will never be the same."
—William Merricle, author of Fractured Fairy Tales and Grace, You Let the Screen Door Slam
