As if I haven’t got enough on my plate at the moment I have slowly started rewriting/typing up the second book of my first effort – Reality Dreams.
I have completed Reality Dreams – Book 1. That is sitting for a while until I have a more objective mind to edit it. This is the second one. I cannot remember much about it at all except that it had the same format of poems, cartoons, sketches and weirdness all mixed up together into a collage that was very typically sixties. It mixed spirituality, mysticism, science, Sci-fi and stories.
I will see how it goes.
This is the intro that I have just written:
Introduction
This is the second book of the Sixties Book that I started writing in 1967. It is a concept of its time – a meandering surreal experience of naïve mysticism and metaphysics.
What a weird mixture – a concoction of imagination – an outpouring from the mind of an overstimulated youth whose head was full to bursting with ideas that had to come out – a mind that was balanced on the summit of a tsunami of youth culture as it crashed its way around the world on an avalanche of psychedelic invective. This was the Sixties and it reverberated. I was tuned in. This is what emerged.
I am resurrecting it.
This book has spent the last forty years sitting as a typewritten manuscript on my shelf. I’m liberating it.
