Obsessional, two poetic monologues meant to be read aloud, create a taut, psychologically charged work that pulls readers into the mind’s most persistent shadows. With razor sharp prose and rhythmic intensity, McIntosh crafts a narrative that feels part memoir, part lyric, wholly gripping. Perfect for readers who love dark emotional undercurrents and literary experimentation.
“Throughout ‘Obsessional’. The speaker’s work serves as a focal point: a literary scandal in 1559 surrounding Cambridge scholar Nicholas Grimald, London Printer Richard Tottel and the publication of Songs and Sonnets. Intriguing and entertaining.”
