P. Inish works in traditional genres, producing poems, slap dash minimalism, beach town stews, portraits, and exotic scenes, transformed in his hands and made odd in ways that provoke both derision and admiration. In contrast to academic poets, Inish brings to ambitious poetics an openness to the materials of pop culture magazines, pulp adventure novels, and epic poems, often integrating their strong graphic quality and dramatic subject matter into his work. His beautifully designed works shimmer and shake and shiver like something just born.
