This collection will appeal to readers who appreciate intellectually engaging poetry with a touch of the surreal and the understated. Fans of contemporary verse that combines precise language with imaginative exploration will find much to admire in Disney’s work.
This is Dan Disneys first full-length collection of poetry. Issued from a hyper-illumined world of statues, rituals, and looming silhouettes, his poems have at their heart a pleasure at surprise. And then when the is an eyewitness report which, suffused with wit and on occasion melancholy, tells its own kinds of truthfulness.

Description
Dan Disney's first full-length collection of poetry has at its heart a pleasure at surprise. Like Max Ernst's 'fortuitous meeting of distant realities', Disney's sometimes absurd, rhetorically-deft poems are the result of a questing imagination driving toward knowledge but able to be side-tracked along stranger, imperative paths.
They are restlessly philosophical, and sometimes wildly surreal, and these things go surprisingly well, in Disney's imagination, with sharp, commonsense observation and understatement. The reader of And Then When The may well be touched by a melancholy in the wit. The poetry is finely honed: the exactness of words is beautifully savoured in the lines.
