Synopsis
Urban Enigmas is a collection of poems exploring the many fragments of what makes a city an intriguing home through accidental finds, oddities and new perspectives. Urban Enigmas looks at Brussels through the lenses of the portraits of people one glimpses and wonders about but rarely meets, the coded messages of things left in the streets, and the found meanings of things lost. This publication is brought to you by Dipity Press #4 in the community chapbook series. Loretta Fahy from the Brussels Writers Workshop said: "This wonderfully vivid collection is a reminder that all is available for us to catch for a delicious instance, should we pay attention not just to the lofty institutions but also to the discarded things left outside. The poems in Urban Enigmas are filled with human detritus, lone shoes, lost puzzle pieces, bathtubs and a host of other abandoned but not useless pieces. They were certainly put to admirable use in the hands of this poet, who weaves them into an homage to urban life with all of its wonder and waste." "There is a - dare one say, Belgian - surreal pleasure in these poems, a leap of the imagination and a permission to see in an otherworldly way. These well-crafted poems do justice to the everyday, to the processes and people, the machines and routines that keep the city ticking over, with all its life organic, mechanic, human, artificial. A celebration of the unknown, unseen, unwanted that leaves you looking differently at the streets you walk down." - Paul Stephenson, The Brussels Review
