CLOSE / Parnassiad collects the first two poetry collections by Julian Darius, newly annotated by the author with a new introduction and 21 previously unpublished poems, bringing the total number of poems to 147.These poems range from the highly literary (a?On Parnassus with My Post-Coital Cigarette.a?) to the highly personal (a?Travelera?). Included are poems on feminism, postmodernism, poetry, President Clinton, modern society, hedonism, sadomasochism, homosexuality, 9-11, and Jesus Christ. One poem responds to Kipling; the next calls you to imagine the process of biological evolution through the consciousnesses of the creatures involved. Other poems address Ezra Pound, Charles Bukowski, and The Waste Land -- often followed by bold intellectual observations that leave the reader both laughing and contemplating.Darius, Julian is the author of 'Close Parnassiad ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781411627086 and ISBN 1411627083.
