Description
Iain Sinclair's Lud Heat A Book of the Dead Hamlets is a unique fusion of prose and poetry that explores the mysterious connections between six Hawksmoor churches in London. The book delves into the mythic realm of King Lud, a legendary founder of London, and the concept of psychic 'heat' as an enigmatic energy found in many of the city's places. In this work, Sinclair combines the incantatory whispers of influential poets, including Blake and Pound, to create a shamanic sense that transcends time. The transmogrifying intonations and rhythms incorporate new signs, symbols, and sigils into the poem, further blurring the boundaries between senses. This early text sets the tone for Sinclair's later work, influencing novels such as Hawksmoor and Gloriana.
