Colors and shapes, images, even visions. In Close Your Eyes, Visions, poet Michael Ruby explores this common yet overlooked phenomenon. The two texts in the book extend into the visionary realm Ruby’s trilogy, Memories, Dreams and Inner Voices, which chronicled the fleeting memories, dream narratives and fragmentary conversations that also occasionally reach consciousness. Taken together, these works are a guide for readers to some of the most elusive productions of the human mind.
