Down the dark mazes of hell, up the stark steps of purgatory, and now through an incredible doorway into the stars of heaven…

The English Cantos reaches its cosmic conclusion in DoorWay. In the third and final instalment of this Dantean epic, the poet-pilgrim must complete his quest, venturing through a realm of stars, planets, constellations, and Seraphim to come face to face with the living, unknowable God—and discover his true purpose. But attaining such an end is no mean feat, and the poet-pilgrim will need the guidance of figures both from his past and present life, from inspiring poets gone before, from the wellspring of mythological imagination, and from Biblical heroes who sought Him-Who-Is-Alive to guide him home. Combining visionary passages of divinely inspired revelation with intimate all-too-human confessions, DoorWay forms the capstone on what is undoubtedly “the best epic poem, in the traditional sense of the term, that has been written in the English language in several centuries” (Andrew Benson Brown, writer and poet for NY’s The Epoch Times).

“Like skyward routes on skating slopes of light,
I saw a million avenues open up,
Ascending each to its own glory’s flight…”

Praise for The English Cantos:

“HellWard, StairWell, and this concluding text DoorWay, are works of major significance.” — Professor Joseph S. Salemi, Department of Classical Languages at Hunter College, C.U.N.Y.

“The English Cantos is not for the faint hearted; he does not spare us from experiencing his own personal suffering. As I read it, however, I was impressed by his courage and triumph over adversity, and found it uplifting, full of faith, hope and love” – Paul Beardshaw
