Somniloquarry, Dreams & Drawings

By Kevin Millsap

As might be expected, the inspiration for this
introduction came to me in a dream. Now, finally, I
know the book is complete. It represents a long
tenacious labor of many small quiet moments collected
into a form that I hope you will enjoy.

The text holds all the dreams (:: ) that I have
written down. I began that recording process in the
spring of 1981 at the age of 22. They span from my
fourth year up to my forty-fifth, 1963 to 2004.
These are actual nocturnal visions that were given to
me in sleep. I have polished on them intensely all
spring and feel that they have become a worthy set of
image poems.

The ink drawings (>) were done while awake. They
are grouped to improve the flow of reading. Those
sections do mark the moment in time of their actual
public showings. Interspersing each of them into its
chronological place would not do justice to the
hundreds of other things that I have doodled and
failed to capture.

In total they present the story of a life. The
narration and art are only (mostly) from the usually
silent unconscious. Mundane events and needs have
caused large gaps in the time-line. This work can be
seen as a true novel or as an odd autobiography.
Each entry is a crumb from my dreaming mind. I
welcome you to the feast.
