It doesn’t seem to me true to be one or the other. I think of it as a spectrum and not a binary division of real from surreal or sense from nonsense. I think of it as inclusive, the surreal being part of the real, the real as part of the surreal, the sensical in nonsense and the nonsense in sense, a new sense.
-Lesle Lewis
This week’s surreal-absurd sampler at Mercurius is Lesle Lewis. Dizzying delights. Prose poems with sentences as composition structure. Irony and sincerity. The big questions of life and consciousness.
“The house is one-sided and you’re flat in it.
In the mouth of your pillows are teeth.”
