Radioactive Hieroglyphs

Todd Wylie's collection of poems, Radioactive Hieroglyphs, is the poetic equivalent of an escape room. You are locked inside with the clock ticking down. You hold a battered comic book, an oscilloscope, and a picture of Howard Hughes. You realize quickly that you have landed "out of play in the chute for bad nuts," and that in Todd's world, there are no happy endings, but along the way, you will be captured by the sharp-edged details. It is only when these details smooth out to reveal the "shiny coin / plucked from behind a child's ear," that you find yourself holding the key. And the door may unveil a completely different world on the other side-a candy house with an oven hidden inside, or an edgeless horizon. Either way, it will be a way out.
