Overview

How do you explain a mystery? This opaque mythology is something that pervades a lot of the poems here, inspired by the sideways, the askew, the fables of Aphex Twin. This isn't intended to be a discovery of who Aphex is, nor necessarily what he means to the contributors, rather an attempt to introduce the mythos and aura of Richard D. James. You won't get to know Aphex Twin better through these poems, but you will be intrigued, all over again. The most emotional of musicians, this Aphex Twin anthology provides a reminder that brain and heart can get pulled at by the unexpected as much as the nostalgic familiar.

Aaron Kent is a working-class writer and award-winning publisher from Cornwall, now living in Wales. He runs the Michael Marks Publishing Award winning press Broken Sleep Books, and his debut poetry collection, ANGELS THE SIZE OF HOUSES, is forthcoming from Shearsman. Aaron was awarded the Awen medal from the Bards of Cornwall for his poetry pamphlet THE LAST HUNDRED. Gillian Clarke said, of his poetry, ""Every poem is a dizzy word-dazzle, a dance of images, expressing a real life of work, babies, love and loss."" Andrew McMillan called it ""Poetry that vibrates on its own frequency, and invites the reader into its own surreal soundscapes."" JH Prynne called his work ""Unicorn Flavoured"" and Vahni Capildeo said ""Aaron Kent's pages made me experience, for the first time ever in my reading, the spaces between words as rips in fabric that let skin show through in its bruised and tender luminosity""."
