The Morphine Fawn

"Here follow the visits I received across the last two nights of the Anthesteria, which for the most part was why I didn't meet you by the fountain; for I was in quite another place..."The Morphine Fawn is a book that deftly interweaves a variety of traditional forms with free narratives that include Account Ledgers, Patent Applications, Rituals and Personal Letters to depict the boundless comedy, cruelty, excess and sorrow of life as festival. Set during the Anthesteria, a celebration of the opening of the wine casks and the return of the Dead, each love poem is a visitation sure to both provoke and enthrall.
