About this product

Product Information

"CHIMERA: I SEARCH FOR NEW PERFUMES, UNKNOWN PLEASURES, BIGGER FLOWERS..." -Gustave Flaubert "Gustave Moreau's painting "The Chimeras" is a work in which all the artist's failings ...are clearly revealed: an inability to complete an over ambitious task, artificial composition, a tendency to sacrifice the whole to the details, an abuse of oddities, and a superfluidity of historical bric-a-brac..." - Philippe Jullian, Dreamers of Decadence In offering this Chimera, it is the poet's desire to carry on the mission of Mr. Flaubert and fail half so well as Mr. Moreau. Like her namesake, Chimera is a congregation of disparate parts, faulty flights of fancy and delirious strivings, dissolving with time into a singular outlook. The reader is offered a refuge from the flat-footed, disenchanted state of modernism in poetics, and escape from a world constantly defined by "Progress". An odyssey of 100 poems, Chimera is hauntingly illustrated by Symbolist paintings and gemmed with hieroglyphs encoding secret messages. It's companion is the Audio CD "Chimeras" in which poetry, sound design, and composed music are fused. Also included: 6 poems translated into French, Vertaine Translations into English, Poetry Notes and non-fiction essay "Night At Greystone". The companion CD "Chimeras" melds original composed music and sound design with poetry from this volume. Inspired by: The Symbolists, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Laurence Hope, Poe, The Pre-Raphaelites, The Aesthetes, and British lyrical verse and folk songs.
