Description
The Green Monk is a collection of poems that explores various themes and surrealist visions. Written by Marcus Slease, it draws inspiration from artists and poets such as Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Federico García Lorca, James Tate, and Chika Sagawa.
These poems engage with queer erotics, animism & magic, food, death & sublime nature, fairy tales & alchemy, and the wonders of everyday life in Madrid. The book combines visual images and techniques of juxtaposition and collage to create entertainingly absurd narratives.
The poems sit between worlds, taking the reader on shamanistic journeys, healings, and transformations through a language of migration and immigration, across various physical and imaginary fields.
