Unsolicited Press Announces Availability of “Memoir as Conversation” by Mark Fleckenstein

Unsolicited Press announced immediate availability of Memoir as Conversation by Mark Fleckenstein, a stream of consciousness poetry collection.

Memoir as Conversation is an experiment in automatic writing. Fleckenstein builds a world of poetry using stream of consciousness early in the folds of morning. Phrases develop. Lines are born. Images triggered from one hop to the next. Each poem reads like an expression of jazz or movement in dance. Abstract. Impressionistic. Meaning falls away in favor of emotive jolts and spirited reactions.
​
