About the author

D.E. Oprava is an award-winning writer, artist, and lecturer. He holds a PhD from Swansea University and is currently the Subject Leader for Creative Writing at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Six of his seven published books are collections of poems; however, his most recent, The Codex Epiphanix (Bluemoose Books, 2016) is a hybrid of prose, poetry, and original artwork. The book hones in on his personal feelings about the essential vs the incidental in literature and how a book, by its very nature, should be a multi-dimensional experience. Oprava has long been a champion of the experimental and when not writing, drawing, or reading, he is trying to find new modes of expression and experiences to fuel the endless creative process.

A book that, no matter how it speaks to you, is set up to go 'viral'. That's right - read it, sign your name in the back, and pass it on. As for contents, inspiration abounds... and it will never be the same book twice.

Fantastic and elastic; a fine reminder of what it is I love about poetic language. As reader number two of copy nineteen, I am happy to be a part of the history of these words.
