contra FLUX

Texte du rabat

In contra FLUX... we are carried (carry ourselves) through digressions, diversions, and obscurer corners of the European city... towards seeming epiphanies(?) and banalities, nested (parenthesised) within each other; a palimpsest of graffiti and neo-classical facades -- moments caught (arrested) whilst in-from motion. Mark Bolsover expands and contracts the boundaries of the text, opening hints and vistas... closing down glimpses on the edge of suggestion, to bring us to (non?)places where punchlines proliferate, and urban movement is suspended... contra FLUX is a (new) collection of work from the writer of IN FAILURE & IN RUINS-dreams & fragments. 'Bolsover has done something wonderful... highly charged, psychological, experimental poetry at its best. The imagery is sublime... [a] totally unique voice.' Matt Duggan, winner of the Erbacce & Into the Void Prizes for poetry, on IN FAILURE & IN RUINS-dreams & fragments
