Argonaut and Juggernaut

A strikingly inventive collection, this work opens with a fervent call to reshape the world’s old myths, urging readers to forge a new god of power, beauty, and strength. From that manifesto the poems unfold in four loosely linked sections—The Phoenix‑Feasters, Green‑Fly, Promenades, and War Poems—each a mosaic of vivid images, lyrical experiments, and restless musings. The early verses move through dream‑like valleys, shimmering seas, and night‑lit palaces, setting a tone that is both haunting and hopeful.

Throughout the book, the poet wrestles with the aftermath of conflict, the clang of industry, and the yearning for renewal, weaving together mythic symbols like the phoenix and dragon’s teeth with the gritty reality of post‑war life. The language is kinetic, melting clichés into molten metal and turning ordinary moments into fierce, almost tactile metaphors. Listeners will find a rich tapestry of emotion that invites contemplation while celebrating the resilient spark that drives humanity forward.
