The Dark Ways Mysterious examines the energies-creative, erotic, Promethean-that define what it means to be human, as well as what is dangerous and forbidden. A pastiche of voices and styles spanning the history of art and literature-from Genesis and Sappho to Robert Johnson and Nabokov-it is a poem of pieces that explores "the forbidden creativity/ of the fallen man! the pride/ and science of discovery!"
My only plan is to steal the will of the gods
for Man, to drink from the secret spring of fire,
to build anew our love amidst the violence
of a desire we may never express completely,
and never possess, though we are bound to try.| Author: John Tessitore |
