The past infuses the present in the poems gathered in this collection. Painting a transformative Southeast wind helps restore a culture to a decimated people. Everyday events trigger a yearning for love from those already departed. A goldfish experiences poetry for the first time, again. An arduous trek through the Peruvian mountains leads to a stone that stops the sun. By turns ironic, comic, imagistic, experimental, these poems ask what?s next, and how we get there.
Fast, compelling, and disarmingly honest, this is an invaluable account of a
strange and spectral cultural twilight era that we shall almost certainly
never see again. Highly recommended. Alan Moore Beginning with the creation of
Bauhaus's seminal debut hit 'Bela Lugosi's Dead', David J. Haskins offers a
no-holds-barred account of his band's rapid rise to fame and glory in the late
70s, their sudden dissolution in the 80s, and their subsequent - and often
strained - reunions. In between, he explores his work as a solo performer, and
with acclaimed trio Love And Rockets - culminating in the devastating fire
that ripped through the sessions for their 1996 album Sweet F.A. He also
delves deep into his exploration of the occult, drawing together a diverse
cast of supporting characters, including William S. Burroughs, Alan Moore,
Genesis P-Orridge, and Rick Rubin. Bristling with power and passion, music and
magick, Who Killed Mister Moonlight? is a rock'n'roll memoir like no other.
This revised and updated edition adds an extensive Bauhaus timeline, plus a
selection of previously unpublished photographs not included in the original
book. Praise for this book David J. Haskins nimbly negotiates his own
extraordinary spiritual path through magic, juju, sorcery, and transformative
adventures, all delivered with a sly, mordant wit. Mojo Wild anecdotes laid
out in sharp, page-turning prose. Playboy Who Killed Mister Moonlight? is an
autobiographical chessboard - one full of darkness and light. The contrast
between the two offers the reader an utterly delightful, enchanting, and
thoroughly memorable reading experience. Spirituality Today Full of great
stories and observations. Record Collector Memoirs from seminal musicians are
becoming more and more common, but this account is one of the most interesting
and intelligent I've read. New Noise
