Synopsis

This is a slender compilation showcasing the prose poems of internationally published poet Albert Flynn DeSilver. Memorable, contemporary, cognitive on an almost dreamscape level, here presented is a body of work that should be read and experienced by as wide an appreciative audience as possible. "The Chuckling Sky": here comes fear lurching down the trail, cocksure, with a fierce strut, snapping passing branches. He has got metal spikes in his thorny bears and pitchfork-claws tangling up the innocent air. He is shouting biblical epithets at the agnostic clouds, stirring forth an anticipatory story of blooming gloom. His wrath is that of gangly anger, angling toward more future fire. Fear's face bleats blood-red drops, acts like impatient flame, glaring briefly -- briefly trailing off into the chuckling sky.
