Words on Ah Beautiful Sky by Tim Wolf:
Ah Beautiful Sky is hot ash in a refuse area. A sistering to 2022's CC: Death Chartered Institute of Personal Development (Veer2), ABS strips to the nude and redresses and redresses thematic hold-alls with a nit comb. Here Denyer cauterized right-wing biography & policy into auto-poetics, lacing it with tinctures of sardonic, scathing glottal that clogs the opened wounds that CC: left. ABS is punctuated with blood, self-spilled and publicly tapped, every page is a seat peering into the operating table. Denyer makes words hurt, there isn't a moment’s peace in ABS, even the most reflective and delicate of moments, you're a fly in a glue trap. ABS avoids didactics and keeps pace, holding your ears and speaking into your mouth, KILL THE CPS.
