The VD Anthology: Vol. 2

The VD Anthology is a collection of experimental texts which discovers the complex and poetic relationship between the individual voice and the rhythm of our global everyday life, its communication technology, the multiple feelings, the several cognitive perspectives and the wide, interacted cultures. So, we can see all of these echoes inside the world of the experimental characters and also behind the poetic structure of spaces.

In his text, Tara Basi reflected the self's search for his creative individual identity in the context of multiplied presence of media news and images, the state of boredom or absurdity and the delayed communication with his mother. Therefore, the voice of the character recreated his individual identity through these separated daily images, and also he wanted to resist them to realize himself in other existential ways.

Additionally, in Brian Kelly's text, we can see a poetic dialogue between the main character and the rich world of everyday life. Furthermore, he presented the problem of the cultural identity behind the conversation and the possibility of reading the subject through the image of others in the experimental space and its aesthetic impact on consciousness.

In another context, Sophia Rainbow presented a poetic and romantic rhythm of the spaces in the cognitive world of the character. So, she created a new texture of natural places, dream signs, sounds, conversations and the beauty of small things.

Furthermore, in David Rogers's text, the character was transported from the actual place in London to a poetic, cosmic and open space which included shiny colors, dark colors, winds and also a new imaginary sense of the internal voice and world. Therefore, the narrator transformed us from reality to the spiritual or spectral world to discover the effect of dreams or daydreams at the edge of life.

In a different postmodern context, Alexandra Liedinger reproduced some characters from the past, such as Cinderella and Ishmael, the person who survived in Melville's Moby Dick in another experimental literary dream, that she imported a new metaphorical sound of Ishmael while Cinderella was meditating in the natural and dreamy place. So, the story supported the aesthetic effectiveness of literary characters in our presence. So, we can recognize a relative and creative form of intertextuality behind the narrative structure, that the narrator reduced the signs of the past in a virgin context.

Finally, the book confirmed the multiple levels of existence between reality and dream.
