Canberra based Poet Chris Jones is releasing a book of poetry on the 15th of April.
The press release paints some interesting pictures.
A collection of poetry from Canberra writer Chris Jones
Where There’s Light, There’s Shadow could be compared to a carnival freak show, and is bound to attract people with a taste for the bizarre and a certain darkness in their hearts.
With flying carpets made from butterfly wings, mirrors constructed from owl eyes, and a monochrome rainbow projected from sunlight shining through acid rain, it certainly has its fair share of freaks.
Contrasting light against darkness, it mixes elements of science fiction, horror and fantasy. Where there’s light, there’s shadow, is a speculative poetry anthology with a surrealist twist.
The poetry calls out in siren songs that echo over the dark waters of the imagination. So come to the carnival and feed your dark desires…
