Shadow Reel by Clive Gresswell

A rhapsodic stream of language, observation, and reflection, Shadow Reel by Clive Gresswell is a prose poem like few others. In a work where sound, flow, and rhythm are often more important than linguistic substance, the reading experience becomes hypnotic and engaging, as the poet leaps from subject to scene to thought to tangent in entirely unpredictable patterns. Enlisting unexpected imagery to create a jaggedly poetic landscape, this post-modern offering is a manifesto of imagination, peppered with striking commentary and clever turns of phrase that impress and enthrall.
