Breakfast with the Scavengers

In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.

A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.

At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.

Through poems about fossilised fruit seeds and the sofa where Emily Brontë died, Wetton questions how we curate the lives of those living and dead in a pamphlet about looking, processing, and memorialising. Whether considering preserved wedding-cakes, a non-existent art exhibition or a human scream, these poems speak to the impossibility of containment and question our ability to map and categorise.
This is a pamphlet of poems about the stories that we tell ourselves, the memories that we construct, and the ways that we value and devalue people, animals and objects alike.

Finding one’s self is not a product of age or time. But, learning to love and accept ourselves can be. Every day we learn that we cannot deceive our self until we must face our truth. You need no mirror nor any outside help. You will only have you. 
This poetry is written in various styles and on different subjects. It is inspired writing on spirituality, religion, history, romance, and social commentary.  
"Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brethen". Timothy 5:1 (KJV) 
After the Love is the ultimate reflection, once age and experience have become memories. Hope is now not what we await, but what we finally can give.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) is generally considered to be one of the best short-story writers of all time. A physician by trade, Chekhov is also often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism. His artistic approach to the short story form was to present questions to readers, but not to answer them. His influence is considered to be significant in the world of literary fiction.
