As Below, So Above (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781800161771)

As Below, So Above is a book of poetry meant to instil a postmodern sense of Greco-Roman self that can sustain the reader through an emancipatory struggle. Delving into the depths of the Classical Underworld, author Julian Collins takes the reader on a visceral poetic adventure from the depths of Hades to the cockpit of a kamikaze pilot. From the betrayed voice of Lady Liberty to the napalm-covered fields of Vietnam. From the Catacombs of Paris to the burning palisades of Fushimi Castle. Through persona poems where he speaks from the perspective of another, haiku sets that enlighten and stream-of-consciousness, spoken word style poetry that engulfs the reader in an esoteric haze, Julian Collins aims to redefine the reach of modern poet. For As Below, So Above is not just a book of poetry - it is a spiritual declaration of revolutionary fidelity that transcends the page, the pen, and the poet.
