A Visitor's Guide to the Void

The eight poems in the Visitor's Guide to the Void will open your eyes to the full depth and breadth encountered in the vast darknesses - love and terror, beauty and loneliness, hubris and escape.

This guidebook is a stand-alone accompaniment to a larger performance installation project, Enter the Void. Visitors cross over a threshold and through a portal to the deep dark abyss of space, where strange and glittering creatures exist outside human timescales. This poetry zine is your guide.

The Void project also includes an interactive poetic oracle - a browser-based part-poem-part-personality-quiz you can play for free!
