Terrible Woods

By Paul Bray

Poetry. "There are many implicit Gnostic poets. Paul Bray is overt. By a fine paradox, he is a vital and vitalizing Gnostic" Harold Bloom. "Paul Bray is an absolute original, a demon of brilliant erudition and pitch-perfect music, straddling the hitherto incompatible worlds of narration and lyric to produce a poetry that simultaneously sings and tells and never fails to astonish" Paul Auster. ..". Paul Bray's remarkable volume of sometimes shamanistic, always revelatory poems is a landmark of new vision. His unprecedented mix of colloquial speech, classic forms and ritual resonance sustains a measured and mysterious deeper tone, an unmistakably original poetic voice that speaks the Dantesque journey into the mythic forest of the book's title" Angus Fletcher."
