In These Days of Prohibition

By Caroline Bird

A darkly hilarious and unflinching exploration of the human psyche in the modern world.

In These Days of Prohibition, Caroline Bird delves into the badlands of the human psyche with her signature blend of poetic and vulgar registers. Shifting between surreal imagery and telling social commentary, Bird's poems hold their subjects in an unflinching grip, asking what it is that keeps us alive.

These are days of intoxication and inebriation, rehab in a desert and adultery for atheists, until finally Bird edges us out of danger, 'revving on a wish'. This collection is for readers of contemporary poetry who appreciate dark humor, surrealism, and unflinching emotional exploration.
