Dream Logic

Original paperback edition with unlaminated artboard cover and flaps. Illustrated by Jeremy Brookes

This is a search for something missing but unknown, a farewell without being certain it is goodbye. Full of longing, Dream Logic occupies the space between loss and renewal, where the idea of what might have been weaves through real memory, and becomes just as powerful.Last night I dreamt I was Emily Bronte
I was hanging linen on the line, washed the old-fashioned way ...

Lost moments and memories provide a window onto a time before the present, a place where the past is full and vivid yet never quite within reach.

This is a search for something missing but unknown, a farewell without being certain it is goodbye. Satya Bosman sets out on a journey through myth and relationships, interior lives and everyday moments, carrying an alluring feeling of connection that lingers on the edge of the senses as we ask - is this where I belong?

Full of longing, Dream Logic opens the space between loss and renewal, where the idea of what might have been weaves through real memory, and becomes just as powerful.

*Praise for Satya Bosman*
 
‘[Satya Bosman] brings to this debut the assurance of a poet attuned to nuance and silence … Lyrical yet grounded, Dream Logic invites readers to linger in the spaces between things — where absence hums with meaning, and where the boundaries between the real and the remembered dissolve into something tender, uncertain, and true’ – The Madrid Review 
 
'Funny and odd and charming ... This felt alive, it carried me along and left me wanting more' - Ella Frears, judge of the Kent & Sussex Poetry Society Annual Folio Competition 2025 on her prize-winning entry
