Chaos Magic is the debut poetry collection by multi-disciplinary artist, Andy Luke. It explores memoir, nature, dreaming and politics, with his sigil motifs of surreal pop culture tangents.
'Way down South Downs through prosperous wooded hill
Railways trail ways to spaces families try to fill.
Care by entrepreneur instils places; figures uses best
Growing gardens; business parks, work tables a rest'
