FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'GOTHIC TWILIGHT':HE WHO CONTINUES TO TIPTOE THRU THE TWILIGHT, RECORDING THE MIX OF BODILESS VOICES HE ENCOUNTERS ECHOING WITHIN THE PSYCHIC ACOUSTICS OF THE INNER MIND'S EAR …A more than usual personal impression is left keenly resounding, after one has explored, considered, and unraveled the exquisitely delivered, profoundly deep and arcanely crepuscular, evocative messages contained within J J Ginty's poetic journal.The pulsating theatricalities and transmittable intensity felt between the lines of this impassioned, honest, and most consuming read is especially potent and curiously palpable - from the very first line to the very last. This distinctive and uncanny little composition is sure to articulate and resonate somewhat further and deeper beyond that which might normally be expected from a short book of dark/gothic poetry; in the sense that, the 37 poems herein are not archetypically consistent with that of the dark and the gothic in a classical, traditional or conventional, or even contemporary, sense.That is to say, if one is expecting or hoping for pages brimming with nothing but haunted castles, spooky graveyards, vampire bats hanging upside down in the belfry, living folk being buried alive and dead folk rising up out of their graves, and other such jeepers-creepers; or, if one is looking for overt tales and experiences that share accounts of abuse, self-harm, suicide, depression, various psychopathologies, criminal insanity etc., etc., this may not be the collection for you; though, it must be said, there are a wide variety of these preternatural themes and psychosomatic subjects (along with many others, and much more besides) woven into, between, and beyond the vivid lines and emotional content herein, which are, at the very heart of it all, obliquely dark/gothic in their depictions, considerations, feelings, inscapes and outlooks.It would not be precise to describe these poems as light, dark or gothic (per se) - they would be more accurately described as (shall we say) … twilight (i.e. somewhere in-between the light & dark).For isn't twilight that wonderous great vehicle which transports us from the light of day into the darkness of night?J J Ginty does so colorfully express that which he conceives - born out of that which he perceives - thus communicating and connecting with those of us who decidedly share in similar proclivities: those of us (albeit so very few of us) who perhaps appreciate the widely interweaving, multifarious and provocative twilit themes to be found within one's own life, … death, … afterlife …This book was conceived, born and nurtured out of ordinary day-to-day life and its mortal, earthly, mundane happenings ('reality', if you will), leading the author to produce this collection; effectively displaying his very own idiosyncratic take on Strange & Peculiar Reality.Contains strong language.Dedicated to the 'Isolationist':Those who generally feel somewhat adriftThose who perhaps feel they are something 'other'Those who don't always believe in what is seen, heard, taught or disclosedThose who are of a deep & introspective natureThose who occasionally like to stick two fingers up at the external worldThose who are inwardly travelling Time.In Appreciation. Always.J J Ginty
