Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
THIS IS AN INVITATION TO DROWNING.
These are the stories of things out of water--of sea bed deserts choked with ghosts; of the lonely, roving children of the fen. Here your garden grows belowground. You will be born into a cradle of your own bones, shadows will burst from your eyes, and your mouth will fill with thorns. Storms will twist inside you, and the ghosts of your past will follow you and chart your future.
Here, things are out of place--ectopic and unviable--and you will mourn the unborn, those underwater things out of water.
Endoskeletal -- Making monsters -- Dead man's curve -- In tongues -- The eyes of Salton Sea -- Underwater thing -- Tall grass, shallow water -- Intersect -- Grave mother -- Thorn tongue -- Through gravel -- Still life with Natalie -- Golden Avery -- Scavengers -- The eye liars -- Magnifying glass -- Crosswind -- Renovation.
