Dark Poetry, Volume 4: Gothic Twilight II: Dark Poetry, #4

By J J Ginty

BEHOLD! … AS HE PARADES THE MOTLEY INCARNATIONS THAT DWELL WITHIN THE TWILIGHT OF HIS HAUNTED GOTHIC SOUL! 

Gothic Twilight II is the fourth collection in J J Ginty's Dark Poetry series.

Pursuing on from the spectral dominions of Gothic Twilight (Dark Poetry, Volume 2). Here the author takes us on a less abstruse, easier to comprehend journey into the alternate, opaque apprehensions of everyday life, and its day-to-day experiences & insights. Represented throughout by his mysteriously unique view; exploring the memories, accounts, flashbacks, dreams, nightmares, … taken from his own personal involvements and observations. One could to say, it reads a bit like a poetic journal, of sorts.

The twenty-two poems herein are considerations and interpretations of various spiritual (or metaphysical) happenings, impressions, premonitions & intuitions. Covering topics such as: resurrection, rebirth, near death experience (NDE), the afterlife, God, Self, loss of Self, and the dichotomy of dualistic existence. 

J J Ginty also speaks to us of love, loss, grief, friendship; appreciation, inspiration, influence, fantasy; fate, fear, anger, joy; mental disturbance; delusion, illusion and obsessive desire. 

Some of the poems in this collection read like the psychotronic-memoires of an altered consciousness; where the reader is taken through the dipsomanic, drug-fuelled hallucinations and visions of J J Ginty's past (which do have a tendency to flashback into his present, everyday life, from time-to-time); thus leading to some pretty interesting juxtapositions on what life apparently is. 

Enjoy this short read, while you take in the paradoxical-irony shared through J J Ginty's surreal & sardonic glimpses of Nirvana, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory; Life, Love, Damnation & Suffering. Coupled with his nihilistic & caustic glances at a hopelessly dysphoric and dystopian world future.

J J Ginty

J J Ginty is an eclectic writer who is indeed a poet by nature and selection; and beautifully exhibits his artistry through the composition of verse and prose. An author who could perhaps write about any theme in any place, in any time, or any space. Composing his work to suit almost any style, and almost any taste. Having a propensity towards the darker characteristics of life (and death); whether they'd be real or surreal; natural or unnatural (supernatural); normal or paranormal; ordinary or extraordinary. It would be difficult to sum J J Ginty up as a writer; but for now, at least, it shall be said ... he is a writer/poet who has crafted his style to articulate the Dark and the Gothic.
