The Dream Detective

By David Mills

Poetry. African and African American Studies. THE DREAM DETECTIVE spins rapidly from sociopolitical satire to elliptical ruminations seasoned with riffs on the body, family, exotic locales, music, and more. "Simmering just below the (non)linear narrative is an imaginative idiom challenging semantics and syntactical structures--an oppositional poetics. THE DREAM DETECTIVE successfully sneaks across cultural and ethnic boundaries," notes Randall Horton. "David Mills is a poet of lyric comic mystic worldly independence. His work ranges from meditative to satirical to gently outrageous, a reflective and varied wit running (punning) through his poem-by-poem characterizations of mind," writes Anselm Berrigan.
