'It is with the unbounded expansion of possibilities, of language, poetics and meaning, gives the poems in Transition Vamps their momentum. It is a peripatetic collection with poems set variously in South Korea, Sweden, the Netherlands and Australia, the poet is a foreigner aslant his world. But it also shows up in less predictable ways. For instance some of the included internet poems tumble down a social media rabbit hole, the kind of nodal knowledge journey the internet has acculturated us to. The poems move with the stutter step of a mouse's scroll wheel and the teleportation of a clicked link.' Liam Ferney
