Altogether Elsewhere is a vibrant journey between reality and fantasy. The truths are strong, poignant and positive. The dreams are the shifting sands of sunsets and twilight visions. This chapbook is richly illustrated by Pete Jon Smith who captures London’s dissociative landscapes that are both urban and pastoral, real and unreal.
