London, England: Sick Fly Publications/ Tangerine Press, 2019. Limited First Edition Thus. Sewn Wrappers. Signed by Natasha Dennerstein. The title story by Natasha Dennerstein, an acclaimed Australian-born poet & writer whose former career as a psychiatric nurse has given her "...an interesting perspective on the human condition." (from short biography, final page). Chapbook in sewn binding, a handsome, high-quality production of Sick Fly Publications, a subsidiary imprint of Tangerine Press, edited by Michael Curran, our friend across the pond in the UK. The ninth number in SFP's "Walking Wounded Series" as stated on copyright page. The narrator of this gritty & compelling short work (perhaps based on the author &/or a patient) is clearly an abused & traumatized person, among the Walking Wounded indeed. As noted in acknowledgments, this story first appeared in the New Zealand publication Phantom Billstickers (2015). One of a limited edition of 53 copies published during October 2019, signed on title page by Dennerstein & hand-numbered at colophon. This is copy No. 36/53. A very rare & rewarding Dennerstein collectible; another Tangerine-&-Co. instant rarity. In very fine as-new condition, substantially mint inside & out. Very Fine. [Item #4389]
