The Glass Delusion
The Glass Delusion follows a voice disturbed by the disintegration of its memory and presence.
“Jack McKenna takes us through abstract depictions of a dizzying and confusing existence, with writing sensorily rich … The Glass Delusion is a powerful and unique way into an experience that we often see from the outside looking in.” - Kayla Victoria, STAT

The narrative moves around time, with each poem shifting in shape and tone, even morphing into photography when words diffuse.
The collection is an exploration of the fragile network of selfhood and how age breaks down what keeps it together. The threads that bind are made explicit-family, work, place-leaving us to face the question of how resistant these are to the devastations coded into our physiology.
Every book is numbered and comes with a hand-crafted sleeve. The book is printed on fully recycled paper by a carbon-neutral printer based in the UK.
