Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology, published in 1915, comprised epitaphs for the community of a fictional small American town. In this supersaurine collaboration, poet J.T. Welsch and illustrator Dom&Ink relocate to Hell Creek, Montana and imagine the lives of the dinosaurs discovered there. Meet the ruthless Tyrannosaurus rex, his attorney Judge Anklyosaurus, the radical Stygimoloch spinifer, and convicted cop-killer Dromaeosaurus albertensis. Spiky, razor-toothed, densely-plated poems spill a bleak saga, fringed with savagely assured inks and thunderous colour, as the predators and lovers of Hell Creek come up against their individual and collective doom.
