Memories of the Future: Linked and Contrapuntal Poetry by Stephen Bailey (as Hansha Teki) and Clayton Beach, Heliosparrow Press (March 10, 2020)
Raw, fresh, vivid poetry that utilizes all 5 senses yet provides space for the reader's imagination and engagement. Memories of the Future is an inspiring collection of linked-verse poems and parallel haiku that are well-blended with dark and light themes, concrete imagery and abstraction. The poems are infused with surprising, creative and provocative juxtapositions. After reading this, I'm inspired to write more collaborative linked-verse for the unique experiences it provides and its ability to connect people across distances, across countries, around the world. I recommend this book. – Amazon review by JS
Although I have only just begun to absorb Memories of the Future, I have so far immensely enjoyed this collection. Haiku is one of my favorite forms of poetry, and this work of linked and contrapuntal takes Haiku to a truly stunning level. Thanks very much for publishing this! – Amazon review by mark
