Bøker av Z M Wise

In his latest poetic descent into cranial madness, Z.M. Wise explores the vast, boundless illusions and verisimilitudes of what occurs during our nocturnal absence (excluding the guilty pleasures known as reveries). Composed in the form of a nonlinear epic, The Pleasant Dreamers sways like an indecisive palm tree under the influence of villainous wind, from narrative and lyrical verse to free-form, tangential dreamscapes and morbidly grotesque tribulations. It embodies the multitude of unconscious inspirations that often turns reality into a game of chance. It answers the questions that haunt our cognitive thought processes. It celebrates the welcoming of cinematic escapism of living inside one's mind, as well as the deep-seated concern of being consumed by such fantasies. In the bittersweet end, only you can determine the significance of this volume.

From a loose amalgamation of mythology, demonology, music, art, allegory, fable, and trauma comes the byproduct of spiritual purging and a creative exorcism. In Z.M. Wise's latest manifestation, you will be taken on a surreal journey into the unknown and back again in a twisted fashion. This sequence of poems and poems-turned-songs will make you question the very existence of love and its teasing shadows that take form on occasion. Will love triumph over despair and sorrow? Only you hold that power, Dear Reader.
