Description

Jim Carroll's Fear of Dreaming is a collection of selected poems that showcase his unique blend of delicate imagery and hallucinatory style. First published in 1993, this volume brings together selections from his earlier works, Living at the Movies and The Book of Nods, as well as previously unpublished pieces.

The poems in Fear of Dreaming are characterized by their urgent, obsessive metaphors, which pose against a cool, streetwise surface voice. This tension creates a sense of electricity that is both disturbing and thought-provoking.

With poems that explore themes of identity, spirituality, and the human condition, Fear of Dreaming offers a powerful and thought-provoking reading experience. This is a collection of poetry that will appeal to readers who appreciate raw, emotional, and deeply personal writing.
