Published : Aliens on Mercurius

Brilliant to have new poems shared from my latest book, Come and See the Songs of Strange Days : Poems on Films https://www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/sj-fowler-come-and-see-the-songs-of-strange-days on the constantly excellent Mercurius, edited by Thomas Helm. / These five are probably the last set from the book I’ll share, and each celebrates or commiserates on a film in the ALIEN franchise, utilising a slightly deranged illustrative technique. I’ve long been interested in memes as poems, and in this case they sit alongside clipart, alien font and photoshopped cinemas. Quietly inventive and weird perhaps. https://www.mercurius.one/home/aliens-poems-on-films
