About the Book
Renowned poet Charles Noble’s long poem playfully connects autobiography, narrative, philosophy, history, and satire and experiments with language and structure in a way that pushes the limits of contemporary poetry.
Noble leaves
no leaf unturned as he touches on issues related to contemporary Western
society, including mass media culture, gender politics, postindustrial
technology, and the politics of postmodern culture.
“… a work that eventually harmonizes high seriousness with the down home goofiness — Plato’s cave is a coffee-shop on a tourist town’s high street.”
Seán Virgo, author of Waking in Eden
About the Author

Excerpt
the mind
is pure
escapism...
telluric talaria scrabbling...
an odd tin-tapping
two magpies hopping on the concrete abutments
from car to car in the lot
picking the bugs off the plates....
