Night Journey

Night Journey – Nick Jones
ISBN: 9781910836811
£6.99

 

An inventive interplay between poetry and aquatints brings both to life in this limited edition pamphlet from surgeon and poet, Nick Jones. Our voracious appetite for travel has resulted in an ever-expanding lattice of tarmac across the earth’s surface. Shrouded in darkness this artificial environment envelops the solitary night driver. Its impersonal nature is the antithesis of the self yet, paradoxically, it is here that aspects of the self begin to unfold.

 

 

Separation

Past processions of pylons
shadows long since faded
fields whose ploughs rest
heads dream in their beds
desolate petrol stations
candescent cash machines
watchmen dropping off
foxes sift through bins
the past departed

Author biography

Nick was born in Switzerland in 1953. Most of his childhood was spent in South East Kent and he went to boarding school from a young age. He qualified as a dentist and doctor at Guy’s Hospital, where he met his wife. He worked in Nottingham as a consultant surgeon and was appointed Special Professor in 1999. He has written 320 papers, 38 chapters and 7 books in the field of medicine. His first literary endeavour, Encounter, centred on memory, place and the human condition. Night Journey is based on the experience of a driver at night whilst Nick’s third pamphlet, Still Life, is also fully illustrated with his own artwork.
