Ignore The Wires

Ignore the Wires by George J. Farrah is an experimental poetry collection that drifts through insomnia, memory, anxiety, parenthood, urban decay, and fragile moments of human connection. Written in fractured, dreamlike language, the book blends surreal imagery with emotional immediacy, creating poems that feel both intimate and disorienting. Everyday objects including coffee shops, wires, trains, rooms, fog, bones, plastic, and dust become charged symbols in a restless psychological landscape.

The collection moves between exhaustion and revelation, often capturing the unstable mental space between sleep and waking. In poems like "All the bones sudden rise," Farrah layers broken syntax, sudden associations, and cascading images to evoke emotional turbulence, loneliness, and the overwhelming flood of modern consciousness. Themes of alienation, bodily awareness, fear, tenderness, and spiritual searching recur throughout the work.

Structured in sections such as Insomniac Plum and The Burning Field, the book reads like a stream of subconscious transmissions. Raw, abstract, and emotionally exposed. Farrah's style resists traditional narrative or fixed meaning, instead inviting readers to experience language as sensation, rhythm, and psychic atmosphere.

Ignore the Wires will appeal to readers of contemporary avant-garde poetry, surrealist writing, and deeply introspective literary experimentation.
