Description
Sophie Mayer's poems invite you into an intimate world of fragmented images and cinematic visions. In this unique collection, she weaves together disparate elements to create new ways of seeing. Her mind imagined films take flight, cast from salt and swans, while blackouts over lines scratched into celluloid reveal the texture of her thoughts. Through collage and juxtaposition, Mayer crafts a distinctive poetry that is both personal and universal. Her poems step out of the darkness, revealing glimpses of a world in flux. With each new arrangement of words and images, she offers a fresh perspective on the nature of reality and perception. This collection showcases Mayer's innovative approach to poetry, one that blends the personal with the cinematic and the fragmented with the cohesive.
