Sensations of Travel

Sensations Of Travel Is A Collection From Js Venit'S First Five Volumes Of Poems (Portait Of A Mood Of On Stilts Skating Backwards In The Time Of Things Green Colorless Ideas Mnenomic Devices And Paper Losses) And Includes Some (Then) New Poems So That It Spans The Period From 1990 - 2010. Venit'S Poems Are Aethereal -- Like Skywriting And Seem To Vanish Soon After They First Appear Leaving Behind The Sensation Of Travel -- Of Having Been Somewhere That At The Time Seemed Important And Enjoyable Enough But Like The Passing Of A Dream Or Freudian Oublie Has Left An Evasive And Allusive Trace No More Than A Distant Image Of What Had Once Been Lived Fully And Felt But Is Now Reduced To A Wisp Of Cloud Rapidly Receding Into A Distance That Can Only Be Faintly Touched With In The Earier Poems A Twinge Of Regret And Oddly Or Miraculously In The Later Ones A Thin Veneer Of Pleasure.
