Here, imagination and reality swirl in the juxtaposition between beauty and violence in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the verdant poetry of John Clare, Dickman uses hyper-real, dreamlike images to encapsulate, illustrate, and illuminate how we access internal and external landscapes. The result is nothing short of a fantastic, modern-day fairy tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom \"Where We Live\":\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI used to live\u003cbr\u003ein a mother now I live\u003cbr\u003ein a sunflower\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlinded by the silverware\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlinded by the refrigerator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI sit on a sidewalk\u003cbr\u003ein the sunflower and its yellow\u003cbr\u003edownpour…\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Dickman \u003c\/b\u003eis the winner of the 2010 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets for his second collection, \u003ci\u003eFlies\u003c\/i\u003e.
