A Lagoon of Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781006173424)

A Lagoon of Dreams is a book of poetry and accompanying artwork that has a uniquely lush and dreamy, somewhat surreal feeling throughout. It is meant to stir the reader's imagination and heart-strings, and aims to do so by the use of vivid, colorful words and descriptions, as well as through subject matters that range from love to tragedy, miracles and personal struggles. All subjects are approached in a dreamlike way. Think of them as fleeting thoughts coming in and out of the author's subconscious mind, and you will get a picture of how the poems were created. The writer tends to use odd combinations of vocabulary that still seem to somehow work in a fresh and unusual way. The images are a collaborative effort by the author and a dear artist friend of hers, and like the poems, the images tend to lean towards surrealism and fantasy. In short, you are getting to visit the author's dream world in glimpses, which can be, but are not always pleasant. However, all hold some form of beauty if you look closely enough.
