Book Cover The Dade County Book of the Dead and Esaus Children by Cliff Forshaw

Full-length Collections

Trans (The Collective Press, Wales, 2005)

Strange Tongues (Weasel Productions, 1994)
Esau’s Children (NPF, 1991)
Himalayan Fish (Peacock Books, Orissa, India, 1991)

Cliff Forshaw's collection Trans culminates in a rewriting of the Metamorphoses – Ovid meets a gross-out freak circus to chat about everything from bodily modification to virtual survival: Lord Rochester’s monkey; Enigma’s horns; the Reincarnation of Saint Orlan; Kevin Cyborg; sex changes and do-it-yourself surgery.

It’s myth. It's life, but not as we know it, Jim.
