rch 2025 from broken sleep books in the u k broken sleep makes very fine books super happy and grateful it is called dream dust microfiction prose poems from berlin barcelona london poland prague utah and more i have been working on some of these prose poems since 2018 so it s nice to have them birthed into the world here is a prose poem from the new book it is called white elephants and was written in prague while searching for the biggest medieval square in europe instead we found large sculptures of alien crawling babies by david černý and then the great underground cabaret here is a reading of white elephants from my upcoming book dream dust figurative surrealism bridging psychology and art december 30 2024 surrealism has spread it s wings far and wide of course it is less and less interesting to pursue some kind of pure surrealism it seems the most interesting surrealism is often mixed for example pure surrealist automatism can sometimes feel like someone trying to tell you their fascinating dream it is often not every interesting but as a starting point yes so i suppose at least for me i enjoy super reality and the uncanny rather than abstract surrealism or automatism as an end point a grounding with a nice rug that is pulled out from under you however i also enjoy some abstract surrealism miro for example i am less and less interested in word salads and verbal gymnastics as the main driving force of linguistically innovative poetry also i have grown more and more disillusioned with post modern theories and sensibilities with their obsessive focus on power as the centre of human experience foucault etc ditto overly academic poetics tied to dense specialisation often obscuring rather than opening up and revealing the liberation of thought and language change randomness and unpredictability and transgressing boundaries those are the legacies of surrealism that stick with me also dreamlike imagery that expands the narrowly constructed realms of the real i am pulled towards surrealism for its intersection of psychology and art here is this morning s new surrealism painting by inka essenhigh it is called predawn in spring 2020 it is an example of figurative surrealism haunting and beautiful those ghost like figures are welcoming the sun is warm in the centre and the skeleton trees are also beautiful death is there but also beauty also those elemental energies of yin and yang masculine and feminine winter poem dear working man with tarred leggings december 21 2024 a new prose poem from my ongoing manuscript this one is called

about growing up in oakwood place in portadown n ireland my granda roses it can never do it justice it being language it being the passing of time and people here is my first letter it is called dear roses pulse of the nation a prose poem inspired by dreams october 28 2024 i ve been reactivating my german from high school and college dreaming of berlin but also other things in the air like the prose poems of max jacob max jacob 1876 1944 was a french poet painter and writer who played a significant role in the early 20th century literary scene he was a close friend of pablo picasso and guillaume apollinaire and his work is known for its blend of surrealism and symbolism jacob s prose poems such as those in his collection le cornet à dés the dice box often explore themes of dreams spirituality and the subconscious here is a little prose poem from a new collection of travel prose poems coming in march 2025 from broken sleep books in the uk lots of them are based on dreams this
