Pools : James Jackson

“Let’s hope the moon doesn’t come crashing down around us.”

Pools is an exploration of the energies used in pursuit of one-on-one relationships; it is an odyssey through feelings: trauma, loss, hurt, euphoria...

Using delicately dancing metaphors of occultism, mysticism, surrealism and nature, Pools crafts a poetic timeline of the lifecycle of a relationship destined to unravel, with an experimental diction that includes word creation and avant-garde use of punctuation. It is a spiritually introspective look at the role relationships play within the sentience of human beings, and how emotions are the most powerful sensation of our collective experience.

It is an open-letter, a true story, and a cathartic release – a love language for Romantics.
