Alice at R’lyeh

If you haven’t read or listened to the incredible poem Alice at R’lyeh, written by Murray Ewing, now’s your chance.  Morgan Scorpion recorded it, and you can listen below.

“What a curious thing,” said Alice
“One might easily lose one’s balance,”
As she walked through the labyrinthine tangles
Of the sea-risen city’s impossible angles…

…and so Alice meets Howard Phillips Lovecraft in the nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh, and there they discuss nonsense & meaninglessness, until interrupted by… Certain Entities of an Unusual Nature.  Bringing together the imaginative worlds of H P Lovecraft and Lewis Carroll, Alice at R’lyeh explores the black seas of infinity, the dangers of adding two and two, and the advantages of being fictional.
