Synopsis
Matthew Rohrer's latest collection explores the space between wakefulness and sleep, that drowsy loosening of consciousness called hypnagogia. Comprised not of dream-poems but poems that strain to hear dreams' faintest messages squeaked through into waking life, The Sky Contains the Plans lays bare an imagination in which the mundane and surreal contort each other into a new kind of primordial reality.

A TOY SPACESHIP CALLED
ALMOND CHICKEN
VS the Mega Gun. The Almond
Chicken wins. The Almond
Chicken VS the Disasteroid.
The Disasteroid is victorious.
The unopposed Disasteroid rips
through the Earth.
The Earth is smashed into a billion
tears. The tears spread
out across the sky.
From each little piece
of the Earth a toy space ship lifts off.
Revenge in its little heart.
