Folktales, Nikki Dasos

The subject is worried. God’s in the fruit. Horses ask why. The lonely poems of Folktales offer incoherent lessons on how to navigate a noplace where humor and despair jointly rule. The voices are disoriented but hopeful. In a restless syntax and spare tone, this book puts new music to old problems.

Nikki Dasos lives in Los Angeles. She has had poetry published in Unsaid, Diagram, Gobbet, Juked, Requited, The Collagist, Vestiges, and the Atticus Review.
