The myth of this is that we’re all in this together

Equal parts flippant and plaintive, Nick Mulgrew’s first  collection of poems, the myth of this is that we’re all in this together, is a three-part meditation on the ways in which  people lose trust in themselves, each other and their  communities.

Experimentally laced with monologue,  anecdote and truism, these 32 self-aware, diary-esque poems languish in the small sadnesses and frayings of a terminally uncertain society in a socially-mediated age.
