The Cult of What Comes Next is S. K. Kelen’s latest collection of poems, an assembly of moments – of life and dreams from the past and the future where time is at once arrow, vortex, sphere and cloud, a journey to the outer moons of an unknown world, sleepless nights, some conversations with ghosts and glimpses of what happens in the afterlife, history re-visited, the haunting of hobgoblins, (not to mention a couple of his old poems revived and polished only to be abandoned again) journeys through the dark memories of the soul and coming home – all composed with elan, a taut lyricism and refreshingly rhythmic lines mutating in form through a swarm of haiku to wild odes and sonnet-like creatures from outer space.
