Whirs, Snaps, Clicks and Clacks, by Max Kerwien

Poetry, chapbook, 36 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Whirs, Snaps, Clicks and Clacks is a collection of poetry about the human body. Like knees cracking or a slight sigh, there are noises we make just going about our day. They add a soundtrack to our lives, sometimes harmless, sometimes ominous. Max Kerwien, informed by his experience with disability and Crohn’s Disease, writes on the inconvenient responsibility of having a body.
