A Natural History of Seaweed Dreams

A Natural History of Seaweed Dreams

â€œPlankton-fed, sleep-drugged eyes cast down in the direction of the sacred.â€

â€œManta rays bloom in cosmic night.â€

A collection of prose poems reduced to their elemental, mineral quintessence. A Natural History of Seaweed Dreams is a companion volume to Songs from the Black Moon.

â€œOne does not read the Baronessâ€™s poems, one inhales them â€“ like air, like mist, like vapour.â€
-- Sarojini Naidu, author of The Bird of Time

â€œEvery poem, as it nears perfection, achieves its own silence. If the poems in this book were any more precise, they would disappear entirely.â€
-- Haruo Sato, author of Gloom in the Country

â€œWhat we dimly call the natural world is but a decaying and fecund hallucination creeping out of our very bodies. The poems in this book prove it. They are not even poems; they are taxonomies.â€
-- Jean Lorrain, author of Memoirs of an Ether-Drinker
