"Love is great'. From Skybridge Studios

The Poetry of Filth book release: Poems from Fred Wilder

Hanging from the poet tree is a ripe piece of fruit called Fred Wilder's Poetry of Filth. This new book from Wilder is a collection of putrefying filth & poems presented for the dark hearted and cruel minded.
