The second poetry collection from the Robert Louis Stevenson Fellow and author of Play With Me—with illustrations by Scott Hutchison. From festive nights in Grez-sur-Loing, France, to sizzling summers stretched out in the Edinburgh Meadows, Michael Pedersen’s unique brand of poetry captures a debauchery and a disputation of characters. It is narrated with an intense honesty and a love of language that is playful, powerful and penetrative. He vividly illuminates scenes with an energy that is both witty and deeply intelligent. Oyster features bespoke illustrations from Frightened Rabbit lead singer and songwriter Scott Hutchison.
