I Drift to Dreamland, by Adam C. Ferkin

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

I Drift to Dreamland is Adam C. Ferkin’s first chapbook. In this collection, the author hopes to take the reader on a visual journey. The overarching narrative follows a dreamlike sequence, where the main character faces several trials. Surreal imagery is used to tell the story of wading through life challenges, and ultimately striving towards hope. Haiku are interwoven between pieces to foster a greater sense of being in a dream.

The author is quite passionate about surreal poetry and abstract imagery. He believes that these concepts are greatly useful for tapping into very real human experiences, which are evident throughout the collection. He was greatly inspired by artist, poet, and friend, Robert Pomerhn, in putting together this manuscript. Adam hopes to join his friend in the lifelong pursuit of creating art for the soul.
