The Cult of What Comes Next

S. K. Kelen's latest collection of poems, The Cult of What Comes Next, is an assembly of moments somewhat like a multidimensional jigsaw puzzle of life, dreams and visions from the past and future where time is at once arrow, vortex, sphere and cloud: a journey to the outer moons of an unknown world, sleepless nights, some conversations with ghosts and glimpses of what might be the afterlife, history re-visited, askew politics, a haunting of hobgoblins, travels to uplifting destinations, through some dark times of the soul and coming home - all composed with elan, a taut lyricism and refreshingly rhythmic lines mutating in form through a swarm of haiku to wild odes and sonnet-like creatures from outer space.
