Description
What a rich, strange and diverse lot these poems turned out to be I suspect that these baroque and potent imaginings can only have come into existence as fragments of dreams or nightmares. John Tranter

This sparkling collection shines a light on the phantasmagorical nature of poetry, evoking images, transformations and events that range from the playful to the melancholy by way of exuberance and satire. Featuring award-winning poems alongside brand-new works, as well as a mix of emerging and renowned poets, this is a volume of surreal beauty and emotional resonance.
