Description
First press run of Infernas. Paperback. 140 pages.
Part one of an epic poem. A novel in verse. An infernal trio falling in and out (and in and out and…) of love again. Toxic love. Total love. Trippy Eros–fully untranslatable. Love at lastworstugliest possible sight.
Triptych guidelines for first time readers as per Aristotle’s principles and the Agon:
I. overcoming the self-hatred instilled in you by the world.
II. now you are in love but the world still hates you.
III. >???? profit vs. our beloved’s latest oil painting heist.
First in a triptych about crumbling literary canons, petty academic feuds, bodily autonomy, and other philosophical musings. As much of a satire on Western imperialism as it is a love letter to underread and underqueered Italian Literature.
INFERNAS features nine fresh hellish circles for you and your lovers2enemies2lovers to thoroughly puzzle over, annotate, muse upon, and possibly even enjoy. Designed in lyrical, breathtaking terza rima. Illustrated versions and mini chapbooks in the Hellscape also will appear in the future.
