About the author
M.D. Curzon
8 books25 followersI have always written poetry, lyrics and prose. My first publications were a compilation of poems, entitled 'Introverse', and an anthology of short stories under the title 'Imaginary Friends'. 'Imaginary Friends' includes the title story and a dozen others, from the experimental juvenilia of 'Space Stations and Weather Balloons' through to the refined 'One Thing in Light of Another'.
'Anticipation' was my first completed novel and is, I hope, an accessible work of literary fiction. The protagonist is a young woman in search of her place in the world. Having fallen in love and been rejected, K's story draws on a number of spiritual and aesthetic dispositions in a journey that is fundamentally one of optimism and self-determination.
I have ghostwritten Marie McCreadie's extraordinary memoir 'Voiceless', and have most recently completed my 'High Violence' cycle (www.highviolence.com). Each of the eleven stories in 'High Violence' stands alone as a tightly drawn vignette, but also relays meaning to an overarching narrative as the tension builds inexorably towards a climax that challenges our complicity in the violence of the world.
I am currently working on my Cartesian novel 'Before & After', in which two separate journeys intersect and reflect both tragedy and redemption.

Poetry written in rather modern wise, usually without rhyme, sometimes even in prose, with wit strengthened by a hint of earthiness and a slightly risqué touch that most skillfully evocates the events the poems describe.

Introverse offers a kaleidoscope of colors. I think it's because it was written in the 90s, and according to Curzon, the ‘naughties’. Yes, it gets naughty, without ever being lewd. Plus, it’s witty and sophisticated. You can see that Curzon alludes to well-known literary figures.
Introverse illustrates experiences that most of us definitely go through. However, the author tells it in a really interesting fashion. Curzon tells ordinary and bland experiences with so much life and color. Basically, reading this book was like looking at life through a kaleidoscope lens.
My favorites are: A Poem from a Stranger, Reveration, Verfallen, and The Hereafter, Here and Now.
This just captivated me:
“It seems to me
That I can touch the words that built me from nothingness
In the depths beneath my dreams”
I’m glad I read this book. I do recommend this to poetry enthusiasts. It’s fun. And even though it was written in the 90s, it is fresh.
