SLEEP SUBURBS, WAKE

 

SLEEP SUBURBS, WAKE

_

The debut collection.

50 page B-format paperback book of verse, perfect bound.

Hand-stamped and numbered, limited edition of 100.

SLEEP SUBURBS, WAKE is a psychogeographic study of home. An underwhelming stretch of B-road between two settlements. Ten minutes by car, twenty minutes by ped.

Where every landmark has deep meaning and memory, SLEEP SUBURBS, WAKE taps into a universal parochialism via high streets, benches, superstores and well known desire lines across common land. A truly fertile orchard; these fenland flats and old-new-estates are the stage on which the poetics play out. High dramas. Live or die romance.

Free house.
It’s a free world,
And you’re a real girl,
Can I be your boy in the real world?

Around here;
There’s nothing going on but the sugar beet fields, 

And I need someone.
