Paul Fearne's fourth book of poetry reaches back into his past. Perhaps his most dream-like collection. Poems in this collection have been widely published, and they resonate with perhaps Fearne's greatest poetic epoch.

This book represents Paul Fearne's reflections on literature, poetry and philosophy. His thoughts encompass subjects as diverse as William Blake, and the philosopher Donald Davidson. Immanuel Kant is broached, as is a reflective essay on ethics. This book of essays is, in essence, an aesthic piece in its own right.

This piece may be described as an epic poem. It is written as a response to the a-tonal musical theories of Arnold Schoenberg. The work contains dissonances that directly emulate that created by the a-tonal music of one of the greatest of modern composers.

DescriptionThis book represents a long poem much in the vein of Byron, Milton and Homer. There is no narrative per say, but a free association of images that seek to evoke an impression of beauty in the reader. The title seeks to start with an immediate recognition of beauty. A person who has seen that effect in nature will agree to its power as an object of beauty. There can be no finer experience in nature Fearne believes that this one, and ...

He starts an odyssey of reading the great classic texts of the western cannon. What's more he starts...

This books represents a self-reflexive attempt to understand schizophrenia. Paul Fearne suffers from schizophrenia, and decided to devote six years towards undertaking a study the disease. The book traverses Freud, Irigaray, Jaspers, Heidegger and Wittgenstein. It is a philosophical work that uses great thinkers to understanding this baffling condition. The PhD was discussed on Radio National's 'All in the Mind'.

While Fearne was doing his masters degree at The University of Melbourne in 2000, he gave a series of papers based on the preparatory work of the Journal Philosophique. His masters was to be something completely different, on beauty. But what was left was a seering collection of philosophically intuitive reflections, given academic grounding.

This book of poetry represents 40 pages of poetic experimentation. Using Fearne's dreamy technique, the work is reminiscent of Octavio Paz. Very much a long poem, this work fires the reader into a place beyond.

Friedrich Holderlin lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. His poetry has come to be considered the greatest of that age. In mid life he suffered a schizophrenic break down, and lived the remaining time being cared for. This work, written by someone who also suffers from schizophrenia, is a a great homage to Holderlin. It is written in poetic prose, and is written self-reflexively by a fellow sufferer.
