‘If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.’ ~ William Blake

dub: a copy of.
spectrum: the entire range.

dub spectrum is a DIY ethos mainly focusing on writing and lens-based media. Possessing a deep affinity with my Dartmoorian roots, I combine photography, haiku and walking as a means of exploring our relationship with nature. I am interested in the potential of a form of poetry that situates itself at the interrelation between the haiku’s 5-7-5 syllable structure (considering juxtaposition, use of cutting words and, most significantly, references to nature) with established compositional techniques in landscape photography (in particular, balance, leading lines and the rule of thirds), which originates from embodied experience (the walk). I am further drawn to Jungian ideas of myths, fairy tales and the numinous (mixed with a dash of punk and existentialism), and how this can be expressed in a contemporary context through poetry and fiction. I write under the pseudonym Percival Alexander. A synopsis of my debut novel, Adrift in Amnesia, can be found here (with links to its serialisation); info about my first book of poetry, The Cycle Diaries, can be found here.

truth is vibe.
