Dream Deep

A product of pencil-and-paper night writing, Dream Deep is a collection of poems based on recollected dreams.

In some cases, the images dreamt are expanded, and the dream serves as a seed from which the poem develops. But, in other cases, the entirety of the poem is wrought directly, so there’s no need to expand or contract the imagery. Multiple themes emerge throughout this collection—themes such as fantasy, romance, horror, as well as threads of personal and philosophical ideology cropping up now and again.

A number of the works presented here were printed in an art/literature magazine, which was developed at the college that the author attended. These works include A Nightlight Pondering, The Thing in the Attic, and Fearless (a Triolet).
