It is a montage of visions, the main source being nightmares, lucid dreams, powerful music, and the lingering atmospheres of some artworks. A few poems retain references that you may recognize.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The second part is my clawing attempt to climb above the gloom. In these poems I explore new ways of thinking whilst questioning the old ones. I feel that this was a rather defining chapter in my life, and it went hand in hand with a large amount of philosophical debates, sociological criticism and alcohol. There's also a scattering of wishful thinking, as I escape to places either off-world or in my own mind, searching for a way to rebuild everything from scratch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part the third contains a lot less dreaming. It reflects my love for travel, despite not having a proper understanding of why I do it. These poems are my way of trying to find out why, as well as displaying a few unrealistically ideal outcomes and asking the ultimate question - Is reaching one of those outcomes the purpose of my life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathon Best\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 099535202X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995352025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathon Best\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Jonathon Best","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483820798207,"sku":"9780995352025","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8e01866-88bc-4604-8dc6-a7920a66e531.jpg?v=1778040808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-jonathon-best-9780995352025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
