Abstract

This essay surveys a range of different kinds of writing by Peter Manson over a span of twenty years, from the image-poem ‘Fungus Chicken’, published by Writers Forum in 1997 to work from the recent booklet, Factitious Airs (2016). Themes discussed include the significance of the proper name; the attempted negation of nouns; and the ingestion of hallucinogenic substances to facilitate the recovery of scenes from early childhood related to the death of a parent.
