THE PIGS

Poetry. Dead Mall Press, 2023. Handmade Chapbook, 14 pages. 

From the press: The Pigs responds to the repetitive horror of gun violence in America's schools. A former middle school teacher whose career spanned from the Sandy Hook to Parkland shootings, Tim Carter reflects on masculinity, radicalization, policing, and the way selves are born, transformed, and destroyed. This single, long poem unfolds with endless immediacy, its images colliding and braiding together, pulling us into the nightmare and yet never losing its intelligence and compassion.
