Machine Journey - E-book - ePub

Machine Journey is a pamphlet of poems and flash fictions. Travel the road from Slough to Mars. Discover wild visions, strange tales and machine futures. Scramble your way to the perfect stroke. I liked this short collection. Doyle has drawn on subjects that are niche and wide-ranging. They are quirky and infused with gentle humour and are a pleasure to read. Paul, halfmanhalfbook Lists are a feature of many of Doyle's poems, and this serves to lull us into a methodical rhythm, pleasantly subdued for when something out of the ordinary appears.
Fun, engaging and full of surprise. Vic Pickup Doyle also interweaves and connects his writing to the works of other writers such as Robert Frost, expanding on their view or idea whilst at the same time showcasing his. I consumed each poem and flash fiction with pleasure, however some stand-out pieces for me include: 'The Writer', 'Scramblings', 'Storm on the Sea of Galilee ', 'The Stone Computer ' and 'The Death and Life of Robert Hooke'.
