Throughout the book, the poet exists as both seeker and what is sought as he examines deeply the esoteric practices that color his lens, practices such as alchemy, occultism, and Hermeticism, notably observed from a perspective of what could only be considered a dynamic poetics of being, pulsating with a linguistic tone and spirited vocabulary that serve to recall the aesthetic power of surrealism and modernism. Poems ice over and ignite in equal measure as the poet transforms image into sanctity. His declarations, often imbued with the radiant gems of a poet's personal myth-making, are equally universal in their urgency, as when he writes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eonly this much \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein common: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe come \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethen become \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ekeepers of things. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou set fire \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto a wreck of dire roses \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand flicker \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elike an ever-burning lamp \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efueled by the charm \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof a deeper system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book renders a gift of fresh memory. It renews at every one of its sections the beginning of a mythologically charged human experience.
