Produktbeschreibung
Persistence of Perception is a strange, powerful poetry collection with the heart and soul of a live spoken word album, where the records skips the record skips through underground mansions and scat-man phrases, where faerie tales curl like kittens on windowsills and drifters mend their blues. Reid's poems are memory meals for the happy and heartbroken alike. He knits tight storytelling and sticky truths with threads of magic realism, hints of Eastern philosophy. Nathan J. Reid finds a way to catch us all between the canvas and the paint with poems about dying loves, traveling character actors, Batman underwear, and film reels joined start to finish. You enter into bizarrely beautiful planes of reality by reading this book, by swallowing its thoughts and reciting the sounds. Reid brings you from adult to embryo to child to adult again, offering a hand when needed, and always moving with a sweet and forward light.
