Jason Disley

A Destination of Dreams is Jason Disley's essential collection of Modernist Beat Poetry that continues to explore what is both real and surreal, along with the art of existence. Caught between thoughts of the past, musings of the present and an uncertainty of the future, Jason Disley's poetry distils the questions of identity and purpose and the age-old existential problems of being and belonging, against a filmic backdrop of familiar urban images played out in short, literary scenes. His latest anthology is a hybrid- a poetic-musical gem, set out as an album of diverse, long-playing tracks, aptly matching his contemporary beat-style to familiar snapshots of life which seem as dreamy as they are real. In connecting us, Disley skilfully juxtaposes the reader's imagination into an infectious stream of consciousness narrative which snaps with pace and jazzy rhythms. They are knowingly familiar. A Destination of Dreams catches the voyeur at the window, the sound of traffic on wet, city streets, and the mad philosophies of the professor of thought. Jason Disley continues to develop his poetry here, or is it there? His delicious wordplay will throw your imagination across the liminal spaces of human existence.

The modernist and original Beat ethos of getting your kicks is never far away, and experience is everything. This is what makes Beat Dimensions a highly relateable collection of Modernist Beat Poetry - for if you enjoy music, art and style you will admire Danny's personal perspective.

So, take five - and enter this dimension, I am pretty sure it won't be last you will want to dive into. 'Dark and foreboding passages are weaved together with a promise of better days ahead, in an eclectic collection of poems. Earthy, rich and very much worth your attention.'

A Smorgasbord of Curious Novelties & Other Nonsensical Bric - a- Brac is Ross Maclean-Bryant at his best. You, dear reader are going to be taken on a trip of seasides, and free rides. A rabbit - hole of wonder and a book that is everything you would expect. The variety of this Smorgasbord is tasty, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. So, dive into the ocean, and follow the Chimp, the Elephant in the room and the Giraffe on his motorcycle and the other characters Ross has created and know that this will be a book that you will revisit often. This is wonderful surreal poetry.

Jason Disley's follow-up to his pulp fiction anthologies Beat to a Pulp, and Angel In Alabaster; The Forgotten Whisper on the Wind, reads like a Raymond Chandler pulp fiction novel, with echoes of the poems of Charles Bukowski and the 'street urchin Shelley' Beat generation poet, Gregory Corso.

The Lost Notes by Diz is a modern odyssey of an artist who is in search of much more than just a meaning to his life. It's about the past, present and the future. It's about experience, it's about fate, and the lives that guide him to new places, both real and imaginary. With a mixture of different mediums a tale is woven from extracts and vignettes of a life recorded on paper. Notes that were thought missing, reveal a journey of companionship, love and loss with a touch of music here and there. Diz and his trumpet go with the flow, never knowing what will happen when Jazz and the request of a dead rock star combine.

A simple miscellany of verse dedicated to those who are creative. The bohemians, the artists, the mavericks. The go getters and the dreamers. The stylish and the cool. The doers, the give it a goers, and the likeminded souls, who believe in living for today.
