The Pillars of Slow Town are a series of chapbooks, the poems of which are structurally arranged across a lattice of variegated lines from a thus far unread pandemic epic. What’s in the poems? A bit of Toronto psychogeography, some of that gnosticism we all caught in lockdown, and rhythmic po-mo lyric. Includes a map of the to be completed pillars so you can follow along at home. Illustrations by Alex Hood of Haus of Decline.
