The House of Sleep
Produced by Al Haines, from scans provided by Steven Bartlett
"The House of Sleep" by Elizabeth Bartlett is a poetry collection published in the mid-1970s. This unique work is notable for its innovative twelve-tone form, which adapts the principles of Arnold Schoenberg's musical system to poetry, transforming speech sounds into a harmonious structure. The collection delves deeply into themes of dreams, memory, and the interplay between sleep and identity, reflecting the lyrical essence of human experience. In this collection of 62 poems, Bartlett explores the complexities of the subconscious, weaving a narrative that invites readers into a realm where the boundaries of time, space, and self dissolve. Through vivid imagery and sensory language, she takes the reader on a journey through the various dimensions of sleep—examining how dreams shape reality, conjure memories, and reflect our innermost selves. The poems evoke a sense of introspection, with the ebb and flow of consciousness guiding the reader through moments of beauty, grief, and transformation, ultimately seeking to understand the intricacies of existence.
