Drawing on the works of Jack Spicer, Federico Garcia Lorca, Jacque Derrida, Donika Kelly, JG Ballard, Kieron Gillen & Jamie McKelvie, Deleuze & Guattari, Philip K. Dick, HP Lovecraft, David Lynch, Andrea Rexilius, numerous pop/rock musicians, film, and surrealist art, A Void and Cloudless Sky creates a landscape of comedy, dream, horror, drama, family, life, and death. From locations as familiar as the dive bar to the technological cyberspace of networks, nodes, and artificial intelligence, a human experience both familiar and strange is laid out for the reader. Crustaceans trade barbs with waitstaff, the essays of Kurt Vonnegut rub against the music of Thom Yorke, random chance collides with intentionality in an organized chaos that is both accessible and dense, highbrow and lowbrow, like "Tom Waits eating flies / in Dracula."
A short work with a wide breadth, A Void and Cloudless Sky is a quick read of great depth. It is poetry for rereading.
