Barry Harden - Dark Poetry and Stories

Barry Harden - Gothic Poetry & Stories to Steal Your Dreams
Since childhood, I have been aware of a different dimension where death and shadows are entwined, both inevitable and unavoidable. Seeing a woman pass into a wall on two occasions and dreaming dreams that were from another time or place reinforced in my consciousness that what we see is not necessarily what we know. It was with this belief and with the aid of mythology and ritual that I started to write poetry, some of which is presented here in these videos.  Words can be like gems or sticks. A coalition of words can become a diamond necklace or a broken picket fence, whichever way one wishes to use them and as such I use them for my poetry. Dark fantasy can be alluring but dark reality is sometimes unavoidable and can cascade one's imagination deep into the hollowed skulls that litter the subsoil beneath our feet, to be returned once again to the world in the voice of a poet.  #barryharden
