House of Weeds

By: Kean, Amy Charlotte

Step into a world of deliciously wild characters: a group of outcasts who have only their rebellion in common. Weeds and humans overlap in this prickly-sweet fusion of poetry and illustration, painting tales of society's outsiders. "One is tempted to say that the most human plants, after all, are the weeds." (John Burroughs, 1881) "Coming on like a south London Rimbaud, Amy Charlotte Kean gives us a ground level view of what makes us and breaks us. These weeds tell tales, biographies of the fragile yet indestructible; and are a reminder that life, however transient it might be in the dirt, is worth it. There is poison here, but much sweetness too."- Rishi Dastidar, Poet (Nine Arches Press)"The 'wet fire' that burns on the pages of this book makes it uniquely attractive. Brilliant, inventive & powerful. This is one book everyone should own."- Bola Opaleke, Poet
