Going Dark

by Colin Bancroft

Going Dark. This debut collection from poet Colin Bancroft is a tour de force of thought-provoking and emotionally challenging poems. Focusing on the happenings of everyday life, it asks us to think about what is going on behind the scenes of love, life and death. The theme of fog, the blurring of boundaries, runs prevalently through the collection – striking a fine balance between what we know, see and feel and what lurks beyond, just out of view. Going Dark is a narrative woven from experience, both individual and shared, and joins reader and poet together in a sense of complicity, of what has happened and of what is to come. Acknowledgments go to the following magazines where some of the poems have Acumen, Agenda, Black Light Engine Room, Broken Wine, Cannon’s Mouth, The Copperfield Review, Elbow Room, LondonGrip, Neon and ScreechOwl.

[Ashley (pagesofhorror) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a decent book of poetry. It had some really good ones and some not so good ones. Over all, I'm glad I only spent $1.99 on it though. My rating is a 3 out of 5 stars. Not the worst but not the best.
