Embankments | Outtakes | Uppercuts by Richard Owens

Embankments | Outtakes | Uppercuts brings together three discrete constellations of divers lyric constructions that testify with alacritas to the bullbaiting, cockfighting and bear beating of the present moment. In no ways molested or prejudiced for perswuasion, the songs collected here work to ease the good weights of man and beast in their dayly common labour. Frequent to maintain. Qualefied. Trust in the vertiginous offices of their affection.
