The Blazing Furnace: An Eclectic Collection Of Experimental Poems With Images

This is my fourth volume of poetry. The first, Scratches & Deeper Wounds (1996); second, Mechanisms of Desire (2012); third, Winds of Infinity (2016). As the subtitle says, it is an eclectic collection of experimental poems. Poetry seems to be gaining an increase in popularity in recent years, very encouraging, perhaps because of the global internet influence. Much of this work is simply rehashing existing styles and subject matter, these have their place in society of course, however, we need to move forward with literature and experiment with new forms and challenge the status quo, not necessarily in an aggressive, destructive or political way which was characteristic of some avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements, but in experimental and unique ways.
