Description
Dusk falls, casting a dark hue over the landscape as the earth stains the blueing air. In this quiet moment, the poet prepares for war, confronting the great grief that can only be spoken or sung by an undistracted heart. Ned Denny's latest work is a bold reimagining of Dante's Divine Comedy, shaped into nine hundred 144-syllable stanzas. This poet's version is rooted in sacred doctrine yet attuned to the profane modern world, resulting in a living, breathing interpretation that is both savage and sublime. With its baroque style and provocative themes, this book offers a unique perspective on one of literature's most enduring works.
