Oils
2014 • 26 pages

Oils is the debut pamphlet of the award-winning Stephen Sexton. It is a gorgeous, beguiling collection of poems. Through his portraits of an atheist, a pickpocket and a spinach-loving sailor (among others), Sexton evokes a strange kind of melancholy as he strives to reconcile passion with detachment and profound self-doubt with unwavering love.
