Sleepwalk or spacewalk? Wolf Planet is an elliptical, hallucinatory prose poem that crash-lands on a parallel world as bright and fractured as a broken mirror. Memory, faith, and desire clutter urban ring-roads and abandoned churches, as all the while the Big Bad Wolf - who may not be so big or so bad - presides like the ghost of Piers the Plowman or Trout Fishing in America. A unique vision for strange times. In this densely poignant novelette where a red-eye express is a route to noir, who's the Big Bad Wolf? Wolf Planet is a genre bending chapbook of literary fragments evocative with myth, science fiction and the poetic. This staggering offering from a bold artist is a prodigal archetype that refuses to be tamed.
loved many parts of this prose piece, especially the poetic language in places. Certain parts leap out at you adn resonate differently. we read this as part of our poetry mornings with mug of tea ritual and had much to talk about after wards. definitely worth the time taken to read it. I still think wolves are the good guys really though
Brilliantly probing as always. I often wondered what a prose poem was and now I know. I keep going back to parts and rereading them - Love the hallucinogenic affect
