Amy England

For the Reckless Sleeper Amy England

What if your dreams could be given a material life of their own? What if your recollections of them were so vivid that, more than just recounting their logic, you could transcribe them visually for your reader? That's precisely what poet Amy England does in this stunning text and image collection. Her collages and dioramas are constructed from fabric and paper scraps, from the debris of conscious life. In this subconscious geography, we travel through the nightmares of the political, the paranoia of the responsible, and the tragedy of the critically aware. Often also charmingly funny, Amy England is the most lucid of dreamers.
