dark angels
An introduction to Dark Angels...
We are never alone – creatures
and spirits always surround us, pass through us…are us. We interchange and we
inter-carnate. They fuck with us, and we fuck with them…part of the dance. We
mess with their space as much as they mess with ours. Worlds sit on worlds,
worlds clash and tumble, bleed and grate – creatures, spirits, humans, slumber
and sludge…and then there’s those angels. Dark angels are the only angels there
are. Part angelic, part demonic, twin peaks of the same system. They dance and
they sing around us, swirling around our weakened souls, looking for an
entryway, looking just to fill their day. We are big red houses, we are
knock-kneed digital remasters, we are nursery rhymes during a car crash…and we
are alive, always alive.
‘Dark Angels’ is a book because
it needs to be. ‘Dark Angels’ is a peak - episodes of sliding understanding.
‘Dark Angels’ is a slab of reality in a world of cultured unreality. Never
believe those that tell you that angels don’t exist, they surely do: with aged
leather wings, long bony hands, stumps for feet, with scabbed skin covered in
tattoo sigils. With pleading eyes and dry tongues, they wait around every
corner, they stand at the end of your bed, they sit next to you on the train,
they comfort and whisper to you when you watch yourself in the mirror, they
mumble from within the walls. Chants and incantations are part of their
message, damp sex and a craving appetite for pain is another. We are tied to
our angels, and in our twisted reality/unreality, they are tied to us. So take
some time, take a look at the following slices of shadow and glimmer, at the
vignettes of disclosure, and see if any strike a chord, make a connection, get
you to nod in understanding, in recognition…Dark Angels, one and the same.
The text for this book is
purposefully dense – there are no handy paragraphs. It is a breathless cascade,
like a non-stop incantation/lamentation of a journey through elements of
angels: in dance, in lust, in creature, in truth, in death.

***DARK ANGELS - THE INTERVIEW***
An illuminating interview with writer John Hopper of his poetry/art book Dark Angels. This is a self interview. John thought that as he often talks to himself, mumbles, hums and sings to himself, he might as well interview himself as well - go with the flow.
