Spore Of The Words Steven James Pratt

Spore Of The Words was started in 2006 after some encouragement to write my book. What begun as a brave attempt to gather writings into a coherent whole, quickly turned into an experimental melting pot of compressed poetry. Previously titled World Piss (2008) and retitled Shannanigums Wave (2011). This edition is technically the 46th, to give an idea of the amount of edits and changes made over the last 14 years. My decision to compact the text into paragraphs was originally to save space. Each of the twenty-three sections feature a dream sequence. Dreams taken from diaries filled throughout the mid to late 1990's while experimenting with LSD, drumming and telepathy. 60000 words, 203 Pages, divided into 23 chapters and 4 books. Caveat lector. The language is therefore expressed in lucid dream speak. Referred to by a friend as: "A new Black Country manifesto for the mutation, it captures subtle forces."
