what am i talking about in these poems

read deep space martyr a novel linked to the deep space  game franchise as expected a back story to the game  no plot or characters to speak of , bodies literally spill out,  monsters are reanimated corpses   and they keep on coming on and on in dark corridors and behind locked doors   loose mention of an unexplained alien artifact  which is  an  sentinel  obelisk called  here the marker  as any on ther better name for an alien artifact already taken
Richard Dadd the artist and the asylum  a illustrated biography of the parricide artist from his early colour plate  orientalist work to his  belief  of being possesed by ancient Osiris  from murder and madness  and then a slow genesis into a painter of delusions and fey  horrors   that made his name

the black book    of modern myths    the usual paranormal guide ticking all the occult from EVP to  spirit posses ion of a computer  but including examples from  the far east , phillipines and the pacific rim   many old stories retold

the 20th century in poetry    i admit i read very very few books on poetry  and thsi book only really got interesting in the 1960s   the pre war poets the greats were in the main dead and wrote like the dead, some  good content from the  first and second world war poets who fell in the field    but  often dire in inspiration and  content  from odes to the titanic to odes to  going shopping   all the laureate is here but little of the laurel

thinking if remaking my star clock  note the time  for december and may  reading off ursa major 

wrote  14 poems this week mix of supernatural mystic and  more mystic   for example written last night at 1945 GMT
