Green Man Ascendant

By A J Dalton

A J Dalton, the Doctor of Dark Poetry, casts a long literary shadow across the speculative landscape once more, with Green Man Ascendant, his newest book of poems.

"A J Dalton's Green Man Ascendant is a riveting, speculative poetry collection that takes us into the overlapping strata of time, myth, memory and futuristic narratives. As if spun from the murmur of a dark ritual, a procession of haunting resonances and archetypes opens the floodgates of a 'neverworld' that surreptitiously invades our imagination. Amid the poems' dance with death, prehistoric dwellings, shapeshifting monsters and aliens, you are invited to regain your footing. Prepare to be amazed."
-Irina Moga, Canadian poet, author of Quantum and winner of the 2022 Dina Sahyouni International Literary Prize

The poems contained herein serve as otherworldly portals to the hidden. Explore haunting realms of myth and lore, where the lost gods of olde give rise to new visions of a world shared, yet scarcely comprehended. Vast landscapes of the mind await the literary adventurer in these pages. Prepare to view our world from great vistas of perception: see Herne the Hunter, fallen now, a bedraggled outlaw oppressed both by modern society and his lost glory; glimpse the shimmer of worlds just beyond the tangible; feel the presence of entities little beholden to the fabric of this reality; hear the ancient flowing into the present, a river of time, its murmur discernible just beneath the hum and bustle. The olde, the lost, and the new converge in these poems to produce a unique and vibrant magic. Come. Be transported.
