| The title of this work is Preface to Falling Asleep as it is reminiscent of the state one is often in before sleep. That of pensiveness and reflection. A state of comfort and unconsciousness. I come from people who love their beds. We are sleeping and dreaming people. This is a series of dream poems, or rather poems that reflect the dream-like quality through which I am want to write poems. There are two sections, dream state poems and dream poems. The dream poems being completely not based on any real dreams but more a means by which to explore topics that unless imagined in dream are difficult to access. |
