New Release: Henry G. Stanton The Man Who Turned Stuff Off (Holy & intoxicated Publications, 2019) 22 pages

The painter and publisher, Henry Stanton, has recently released a chapbook The Man Who Turned Stuff Off through UK's small press publisher Holy & intoxicated Press.

The chap consists of 18 free verse poems. In it you'll find love poems, prose poems, word puzzles, nature poems, poems about dreaming & premonitions of death, metaphysical explorations into the origins of life and meta-poetic reflections on the creative process. 

Here are a couple examples of Stanton's work:

The Juniper Tunnel

To cast your small self into this long world of soft flat needles.
To pull your wings in tight and dive a perfect feather missile through 

the beckoning verdure.
To bank sharp left and plunge for eternity into a flutter of greens blues highlight 

and shading.

This once shadow hovering over a vast forest of delusion; 

this little flyer this bird this poet.
There amongst gone turn around now
turn around.

The apprehension of a vibrating word.

It’s so simple swivel wherever we look only this
only this

that one green tree growing in pure blue air.

How to Steal from Rich People

Intoxicate yourself with purpose
and leave drunken from
their huge and brilliant puny house at night.
Leave it behind.
Abandon
all sparkling fluids the musical insane laughter shimmering gowns 

that clinging.
Back there
behind in the spinning room what remains of who you were. 

Follow the path to the retreating beach.

Look the moon in its brilliant eye my god!
It buries itself in the ocean depths and remembers.
Remember who you are
what remains what memory the swirling foam
drowning
give it all away
sink to that love rise to that terror
and repeat again
a fleeting life in dreams.

The following is Stanton's painting "Ocean of Responsibility Sea of Task" which appears on the chapbook's front cover (click on to enlarge):
