Diary In Denial: Inner Improv And What Some Would Call Poetry

Milton Jones, the young novelist behind the simultaneously shocking honesty and gentle realism of "Diary in Denial," can be likened to an urban Charles Baudelaire or Arthur Rimbaud. A collection of prose poems in the tradition of French symbolism, each brief entry serves as a move in an ongoing chess game between an individual and his mortality. A pastiche of philosophy, Proustian recollection and lusty soliloquy, the work copies the form of a diary, complete with dated entries. "Diary in Denial: Inner Improv And What Some Would Call Poetry" is his debut collection.
