Reports Come In is a visceral surrealist collage of scenes from a fracturing world. Corruption, conflict and catastrophe adopt a grotesque beauty as Hardwick holds them up to the light of a bare bulb swinging in an abandoned house, revealing their shadow-stained hearts. Angry and cut with black wit, the poems present the perfect antidote to the trite narratives and vacuous three-word slogans of contemporary political discourse."A writer who reaches places other poets can't go to. A semi genius working on his Godhood and a welcome multiple contributor to International Times."- Nick Victor
