I have been dreaming
those dreams   of meaning
that come from the waters
of dreaming     deep
like drowned men
to the gold skin
of the ocean

 

“By turns delightfully black, singingly lyrical and/or innocently nonsensical. Here is a poet outside the mainstream with his own refreshingly original voice and bone[s] to pick.”  —Gillian Harding-Russell, author of I Forgot to Tell You

 

Company's come. In a ramshackle mansion, meet a family in the same condition—ancient, decayed. There's the brooding Duke, and his riotous brother. There's Grandam, lost in wilds of herself. There's a vicar, a philosopher, an angel, a ghost or two. And somewhere above them all, in a ruined garret…

 Rolli does it again! In another clever, witty and touching collection, Rolli rollicks again through gardens and cemeteries peopled with dreams, goddesses, characters dead and alive, dukes stricken within gout, gracious skeletons and morose angels.

 IN PERSON: The author is available for media interviews and readings/discussions, and will be presenting his work at a number of venues in Canada and the U.S. Please contact the publisher for more information.
