The Tormented Mirror by Russell Edson

A collection of deadpan prose poems that transform ordinary domestic moments into absurd, dreamlike fables. Animals, parents, and household objects speak and mutate with relentless logic, merging slapstick and menace to expose the anxieties of identity, power, and mortality. The result is a miniature theater of the subconscious, at once comic, cruel, and strangely tender.
