Apocalypse Dance - Paperback

by Ethan McGuire (Author)

Apocalypse Dance is a collection of fifty-seven poems (original and translated) that embrace musical order in meter, rhyme, and syllabics. These are poems that describe reality, playing in the ruins of an order, both good and evil, which once was strong--expressing confusion as people navigate crumbling cities in search of something better. These are lyrics of arrogance and sin, sorrow and despair, and of seeking after some form of hope. These are verses about the choice between life and death, the darkness of the human condition, and the anxiety of mortality. These are songs for an apocalyptic dance.
