Imagine

Tom Fallon’s latest book is probably not best described as a book at all, but as an experience, the human journey along the inscrutable timeline of existence itself. It is a work that measures itself in the spaces of blank pages — many throughout the book — which create the effect of the “reader” hearing /experiencing their own breathing between episodes of words.

The book is presented in four sections containing prose and free verse between the deep breaths. The four sections are Naked, Presence, Imagine, and Silence. In these parts we span the despair of chaos in the before–life; the reckoning of self, and the need for, and existence of, a creator; the pure, unclothed joy of living and life itself; and finally, the quiet mysteries beyond our boundaries where

there are no human beings

no earth

there are no galaxies

no creation

no time

there is nothing
