A Visual Sea of Infinite Emotion Dennis Sharpe

"It's passion and honesty. It's brutal, comforting, and raw. It's all right here... in black and white and words..." A Visual Sea Of Infinite Emotion is a collection of sentiments, saved seconds, and sensations etched into the crystal surface of a human soul. It contains spoken word poetry jigsawed together with images to form a record of emotions, experiences, and encounters with people and places in a manner designed to drag you along with the tone and voice of the works as they were intended to be felt firsthand. There is no order imposed, everything is simply lifted from throughout the first thirty-nine years of a life spent drifting and drafting through a world of confusion and comfort, happiness and hate. Each face is a window into a time and place weighed as important from the meandering voyages of the creator of the written scripts that accompany them. They are written, broken, as they are intended to be heard aloud. This collection by no means comprises the full volume of work written, or lives intersected, but instead is assembled in keeping with the myriad inconsistencies of the journey - a companion piece to a life well lived. The verses included are both selections from previous published titles (The Years Distilled, (un) SPOKEN, Fresh, Hole in the World) and pieces crafted, completely new, exclusively for this volume alone.
