Sinners Dance

In a desperate bid to slow down time, an unreliable narrator picks fights with washed-up child stars, scheming super-villains and polyester-clad draculas. Lost in a maze of hastily-erected condo towers, lugging his trick bag bursting with obsolete gadgets and wrong numbers, he hunts for salvation or at least a few clues. Steeltowns’ giant pistons and wheelhouses are so silent now, you can hear a drunken muse tiptoeing through the blood-stained hall of mirrors. Sinners Dance is Darrell Epp's third collection of poems following hot on the heels of After Hours (Mosaic Press, 2016), a book the Winnipeg Free Press called "A fun, sly jumble of poems that often tackle weighty issues."

Darrell Epp's poetry has appeared in dozens of magazines including Maisonneuve, Poetry Ireland, Sub-Terrain, and The Saranac Review. His previous poetry collection include Imaginary Maps (2009) and After Hours (2016). Darrell lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
