The Profane Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781894469173)

The Profane Earth is a series of poems exploring man's helplessness when confronted with the extraordinary dance of death, time, and sexuality. Alternating between dream landscapes and the narrative of daily life, between the animalistic and the rational, The Profane Earth explores the sacred nature of sorrow, decay, and desire. Ollivier Dyens is a writer whose universal poetry puts us in touch with the primal roots of humankind.
