Other Side of Sleep

di Cherry Potts (Autore)

Arachne Press, 2014

An appropriately large anthology of 25 long, complex, poems which are not afraid to take their time, and, however loosely, to tell a story. What started as a complaint about the 40-line rule in much of the poetry world has turned into an anthology that not only breaks that rule, but stomps all over it. Featuring 25 poems which break the rules - these are long, narrative, but by no means traditional poems, by contemporary voices. "A narrative invasion of your brain like thistleseed across northern borders or bees through sleep . A strong freshening wind trembling out of long forgotten valleys and across the face of anyone sitting outside their cave, crosslegged, paying attention. They are fables made flesh, a barrage of artistic light that breaks surface with an oily sheen. Have faith, reader. Enter this book. It is a garden gate swung wide open." George Wallace Writer in Residence 2011-12, Walt Whitman Birthplace
