On the Verge

About the Book

On the Verge is a collection of punch drunk poetry and stories about all different issues straight from the gut of artist Jill Telford. Through poetry and story telling, the artist covers issues from the government to love. The poetry is more like spoken word than in the traditional poetic style. There is rhythm, rhyme and reason in every poem and story. It is a book you won´t be able to put down. You´ll feel every word as though it is moving off the page, into your hands and probably will punch you in the face and bite your ear off along the way.
