Nathan Hassall leads the way where few are willing to go, deep into
the mind's Dark Sanctuary. All-knowing doctors, schizophrenic
demons and apocalyptic visions are all part of the process within
the confines of flesh. Once entered, there is no way to unlearn the
awakened chimeras of the self.
The Dead go to Heaven. There is no Us and Them. Stop causing
trouble - fall in line, switch on, plug in, put the blinkers on.
Are you paying attention? Of Gods and Gallows is the third
collection of poetry and prose from Nathan Hassall. Fraught with
the insecurities and morbid fantasies of an aspiring creative mind,
this collection deals with the battle between the precarious nature
of faith and the certainties of science, one which tussles in the
dormant vacuum of our collective subconscious. Of Gods and Gallows
endeavours to resurrect the inquietude which festers in the psyche
of every individual; daring its reader to explore the labyrinth of
the human condition to find - ultimately - the dark fragments of
their own consciousness.
Nathan Hassall's second book, A Conscious Void, is a brand new
journey for both the writer and reader alike. Leafing through the
pages of prose, poetry, and occasional philosophy, we sail into
work that has brought great challenges along the way; with
heartfelt empathy and care, each piece has been tirelessly crafted
to the smallest of details so that no meaning or message is ever
lost. Godless space and time, the bitter-sweet Heaven of therapy,
the undeniable hypocrisy of our most deeply held ideals; all is
part of the extensive collage of questions and answers that appear
in A Conscious Void. With surrealism, humour and cold cynicism,
Nathan Hassall has created a very modern approach to poetry and
prose, and perhaps most importantly - in an age when our greatest
thinkers fear that Philosophy is dead - an accessible but daringly
unique way to keep our minds from a dull, technology-induced
slumber. Read between the lines, between the lines we draw in our
minds and are too fearful to cross.
Nascent Illusion is a book of short stories and poems created to
question your inner perceptions. With much of the work seen through
the eyes of the protagonist, it gives the reader original concepts
and stories which challenge conscious thought and provide a
platform for alternative ways of thinking. Delving into the inner
psyche, this book touches on a broad range of subjects including
philosophy, human psychology, surrealism, depression, comedy and
strange ramblings. An absurd journey through the depths of
surreality awaits...
