Description
The Walled Garden is a work both imagistic and mythic, a unity of inner and outer worlds in verse and prose. At the centre of the book is Bullock’s method of transfiguring inanimate things into powerful symbols of consciousness.
About the author
Michael Bullock was born in London in 1918. He has devoted himself intensively to writing and visual art since his mid to late teens. In 1936 he visited the great Surrealist Exhibition at the National Gallery and has remained a committed Surrealist writer and artist ever since. This was followed by a prolonged visit to India, which also made a lasting impression on him that can be clearly seen in his work. He is the author of more than fifty works of poetry and fiction and two plays.
