In Apocryphal Poems, Tony Barnstone tells all the truth, but tells it slant, creating a world like ours but seen refracted in a slightly skewed mirror. Here are imaginary sciences, apocryphal religions, our mortality sprouting into new life, strange philosophies. Here is the Buddha as a flight of neutrinos, beach partiers in Florida as stars being swallowed by a black hole, the beast of the Apocalypse emerging from the labyrinth in the guise of AI, love manifesting as oxytocin and vasopressin, those groovy hormones. “Everything possible to be believed is an image of truth” writes William Blake, and in the refracting mirror of these poems our world shatters to reflect our strangeness, multiplicity and changing masks of life in the 21st century.
