Adult Swim

From mermaids to lovers to skinny dogs to dervishes, Heather Hartley's second collection, Adult Swim, gathers together unlikely characters whose different stories explore the connections we share--love, loss, and laughter. Engaging, playful, and often with a dark sense of humor, the brutal and beautiful, sensual and spiritual, live side by side in poems that shift that from lyric to sonnet to elegy.
