Sinopsis

In these poems, the imaginary peculiar and the experiences lived comingle in versatile rhythms and rhymes. Whether the anthological presentation of the imaginary or the demonstration of the experiences, or whether both were coincidental is a matter for readers to decide, drawing their own perceptions of yet another imaginary tale in which the narrative leads them rather than the narrator. This is because some of the narratives exhibited here are indeed unusual and would require a great deal of patience on the part of the reader to separate what was the original imaginary and what has been encountered as peculiar experience that had disturbed the narrator prior to the narration of the odd encounter. On the other hand, the complex world of experience has a variety of underpinning factors: Is the experience in question a lived one? Is it a seen or witnessed reality? Does it relate to the imagery and imagination of the narrator, writer, author, etc.? Are the observations through the imagination and the subjects of the imagery metaphorical? Or is the experience an authorial portrayal of a social reality shared or witnessed by others? These, in my opinion, offer a reflection of how a reader-decoder will interpret the poetic narratives expressed in the verses and at their disposal. The aim, as I've done here, is to present to the reader what to reflect on, and the type of reflection, the quality of meaning to be made out of the narrative and narration, is to be left to the reader. This is what I have done in many of the poems in this collection.
