Karen L. Newman uses her MS in chemistry to concoct an eclectic mixture of chemical mayhem. In this collection chemicals are the backdrop to human foibles gone bad. From illicity drugs to water and vinegar and many chemical compounds and elements in between, the worst of man is exposed in unexpected ways.
This is a sixty-four page, illustrated poetry collection by Karen L. Newman and released by Naked Snake Press. It contains 100 poems, fifty of which are previously unpublished.
Excerpt
BLEACH
First Mary mopped
the floor with bleach,
smearing clean the beatings.
Then she bleached
her clothes and towels
to wash away the blame.
Finally, she bleached
her eyes white to hide
the knife in her husband's heart.
