Dreams in the Womb Brandon Gene Petit

Echoing back to a time when prose was poetic and romance meant the passion of dreamers as well as lovers, "Dreams in the Womb" explores the wanton-romantic heart of prose-poet Brandon Gene Petit in an eclectic collection of prose and verse. While not without an occasional well-dosed touch of darkness, the images and themes in "Dreams" are, as a whole, decidedly elegant and tasteful in a way that aims to allure and dazzle the reader. The poems are designed to be musically fluid, the quotes boast great meaning in all their brevity, and the numerous segments of descriptive prose tend to play out like miniature stories or erotic vignettes. Dreamers and seekers of beauty can escape the mundane light of day and drench themselves in dense verbiage as dark and thick as crimson wine, ultimately revisiting the ornate and redolent eras of Joyce, Dunsany and Poe.
