Rocket Dog of the Bitter Satellite

Let’s pretend that you’re happy.
I want to play pretend that you’re happy.
Pretend you've got more than a few more years left;
Pretend your age is not some tragedy.

Rocket Dog of the Bitter Satellite is a book of 15 poems that tell an overarching story about fantasy, disillusionment, unrequited love, traumatic isolation, and of course: Rocket Dog – the world's greatest celestial superhero.

These poems span a range of tones and structures offering variety to explore through the ebb and flow of differing emotions. They are also accompanied by a cover image done in oil paint, which you can download the full size PNG of alongside your copy of the book.

For your convenience, on the downloads page is both an EPUB and PDF version of this book to fit you and your device's needs. (Please note that because of this EPUB's accessible reflow functionality, additional line breaks may be present in the poems depending on your custom font settings or the size of your page.)

Thank you for reading!

I think you're scared of something secret
like the horse scared of the barn.
