Download or read book City at the Edge of Night written by Christopher S. Thompson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are written in the classical tradition of rhymed, metrical verse, but their subject matter is very modern. The poet explores a strange, internal world of powerful imagery drawn from everyday life, myth, and the subconscious. The poems have images reminiscent of the paintings of Beksinski, H.R. Giger and Hieronymous Bosch, and are in the literary tradition of William Blake. Futuristic, horrific and dream-like visions are subtly controlled by formal technique.
