Satan Talks to His Therapist
This book of poems explores the lighter side of dark times. Both playful and poignant, Balmain offers clarity and comedy during this chaotic time. Divided into three sections — Spiraling Down, In Limbo, and Climbing Out — the poems cover a variety of topics including climate change, social media, pandemics, parenthood, and more. It includes traditional forms of poetry (sonnets, villanelles, terza rima, etc.), and a form Balmain has coined for the moment. Satan Talks to His Therapist (Paul Dry Books) is a humorous reflection on the human experience.
