Setting herself the task of writing a poem a day and accepting a single icon as her starting point, however unlikely – River Phoenix, Mary Magdalene, a backyard skunk – Mc Sweeney follows each inspiration to the point of exhaustion and makes it through each difficult day. In frank, mesmeric lyrics, Death Styles navigates the opposing forces of survival and grief, finding a way to press against death’s interface, to step the wrong way out of the grave.
