G-d, Sleep, and Chaos
G-d, Sleep, and Chaos is a prayer of thanks for a broken world.
Alan Fyfe’s debut collection employs a core of Jewish philosophy to explore themes of love, metaphysics, the self-destructive impulse, trauma, and the transcendent. With a boisterous affection for all things absurd and liminal and a bristling loyalty to working class aesthetics, G-d, Sleep, and Chaos includes poems that swing from visceral to hilarious across seven sections, and a range of forms, to ask how we might come by gratitude, and the peace of silence, in our bleakest moments. G-d, Sleep, and Chaos is a collection for the questing mind and the wanting spirit.
Alan Fyfe is a writer from Mandurah, the unceded country of the Binjereb people.
He is a winner of the Karl Popper Philosophy Award. His first novel, T, was shortlisted for the T.A.G Hungerford Prize (Australia), the Chaffinch Press Aware Prize (Ireland), and the West Australian Premier’s Book Award. G-d, Sleep, and Chaos is Alan’s debut poetry collection and was awarded silver for the Flying Islands unpublished manuscript prize.
He is currently teaching poetry and creative writing.
