Sleep Gate

Sleep Gate considers flora, fauna, and issues around climate through a surreal portal: the dreamer's mirror. 

Moving through somnambulant states, Sleep Gate evokes Inger Christensen's description of the necessity for us to 'dream our way inward'. The poems in Sleep Gate push Christensen’s 'dream inward' further, into biological dreaming itself. Fully absorbed in the fabric of sleep, enfolded into the 'inventory of dreams', these poems become part of the process of sleep respiration, so that we might consider the world around us from another perspective. 

Moving through the changing states of peoples’ 'dreamscapes' and what might affect them, like nightmares, insomnia and other sleep disorders, Sleep Gate captures the disjunctive, jump-cutting quality of dreams: within the unspoken context of 'deep-sleep tectonic logic', these poems jump from a time before 'the clouds are inventoried' to the present, from 'Winter’s gnashing bruxism' to a 'garden anointed with gluey residue.' A collection that, as on waking, assembles the world through distortion and towards clarity.
