The 73 poems of John Sandbach's book Surface Paint are stylistically varied, though they all bear in common a sense of the wondrous and fantastic. In this book you will find both lyric and narrative poems, as well as portraits and insights into some of Sandbach's favorite authors such as Alain Robbe-Grillet, Barbara Guest, and Gertrude Stein. You will find surrealism everywhere, and poems as well that have been inspired by the Language Poetry movement.These are mystical poems, and are full of mystery. Much of Sandbach's symbolism is derived from alchemical and kabbalistic lore, as well as the paintings of Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington.The book ends with two poetic novellas, Smoke Paint and Surface Paint which continue the themes found in Sandbach's three novels, Azoth, Zahira, and A Painter.If you enjoy these poems you might also enjoy Invisible Castle: The Collected Haiku of John Sandbach as well as The Oracles of the Circular Temple, a book of 815 prose poems.
