Creep Love, a poetry collection by Michael Walsh, delves into the intricate dynamics of a family grappling with a profound and ongoing crisis. The aftermath of this crisis unleashes a devastating shockwave that resonates throughout these poetic narratives. A young pregnant woman, seeking refuge from her abusive boyfriend, finds herself confronted with a horrifying realization: he is relentlessly pursuing her younger sister. Trapped in a web of half-truths and lies, the family spirals into a disturbing fable. When the younger sister gives birth to her abusive ex's other sons, the father's unsettling presence becomes unavoidable, forcing the first son to assume the role of a family secret.
As the tensions escalate, attacks within the family intensify, culminating in an attempted murder. In Creep Love, Walsh masterfully captures the sheer terror of this event, leading us through the surprising twists and turns. Near death, the speaker finds themselves plunged into an all-encompassing darkness, a temporary respite from the relentless grip of compounding trauma. This moment of anxiety brings the speaker back to their earthly body, bridging the gap between life and death.
Through these poignant poems, Walsh offers a poignant testament to the aftermath of crisis, shedding light on the enigmatic nature of love. He explores how love can be imbued with an unknowable essence, leaving us to confront the profound mysteries that lie within the human experience. Creep Love serves as a haunting reminder of the fragility of relationships and the devastating consequences of trauma.
