Beschrijving
Lumière, a 56 page book, contains 40 poems that are, in the poet's words, "a hybrid of orthodox surrealism and spiritual transcendence." Of Allen's work, it has been said:
"The soul is conscious in this new voice, and John wears a rosary around his neck. Real as Albany, his infra-surrealism is growing and growling."
-David Shapiro, author of David Shapiro: New and Collected Poems, Abstract Expressionism
“The work of John Thomas Allen reflects a mature, distinct and unique poetic voice. There is an unusual courage of insight and clarity into what many of us would rather look away from. Enjoy this young poet’s itinerant voice.”
-Julian Semilian, author of Osiris with a Trombone Across the Seam of Insubstance, Transgender Organ Grinder
