Publisher's Summary
A stunning collection of poems on various themes. The Odontiad is a 32-sonnet sequence, initially about the quotidian concept of tooth decay, which expanded to express the nature of decay and collapse in general, and then become a lens through which I could communicate these unusual "shut-in times". The poems express themes from the nature of memory, reality and one's life, with a gnostic perspective.
Sonnet IV was selected for the Virginia Bards Poetry Anthology 2020.
This is Aaman Lamba's second published book, following the best-selling definitive edition of The Complete Illustrated Grand Grimoire. The audio narration by Miguel Conner brings the poems to life.
Excerpts:
Sonnet IV
Nothing ever came from nothing, nothing could / Yet when I feel the serrated gaps, I wish it would. / My life a constant pain, only memories sweet / Seeing so many others smiling in the street. / As I lie shivering 'neath this tarp, / The windy city chills my heart. / Slowly reaching for a coin, / In this bitter and cruel Tenderloin
Surrealist Manifesto #24
I heard the mating call / In the lawn outside the hall / 'Twas the flat-footed sheep / It's mournful dirge a weep / The captain opened his door / "Ahoy!" he called in a scream / Being disturbed from his dream / When he did hear the foghorn roar / "Bricks ahead!' was the replying wail
The Way of Desire & Memory
Pages torn out of history / Tell tales which come again / For what is past is in the mind / The keeper of future is memory
