Nightmares Run Like Mercury

Paul Collis first collection of poetry is a book of difficult truths and profound connections. It charts a life lived on the streets on country in the deep time of tradition of relationships to land and family. This book mourns those who have passed and the current state of places and people held close in the heart and in the kinds of knowledge inseparable from self that might be called being but is always much more than that. It is also a poetry of hope in the hopeless of beauty in small moments and the overwhelming now that is memory.
