Vengeful vending machines. Talking carrots. Fairies who take up residence in a town's water treatment plant. Award-winning poet Simon A. Thalmann brings an innovative approach to surreal prose poetry in the vein of Russell Edson, collecting 48 new pieces written with the assistance of artificial intelligence. The resulting works are peopled by sentient trees, variations of the moon, a plethora of anthropomorphic animals, and the title character, the man with the clock for a head, among others. Their absurdist existence draws attention to our common humanity in a world where "the mundane was extraordinary."
