Product Description
by Denny Farrell (Author)
About the Author:
Composing metaphysics, poetry, and music since the age of six, Denny Farrell now divides his attention between the south of France and Japan. Author of The Charm of Being, The Sonnet Files, The M'Eternity Ward, and an opera, Farrell places heavy demands on several genres of the arts. Of his life he has said, " In many ways, my own impersonation of notnotitude has proved to be a chain of favorable synchronicities, saving graces that came, as if from nowhere, and just in the nick of time."
About the Book:
If there is any doubt that Denny Farrell is the most astonishing poet of our time, the Romance of Being should put that to rest. Indeed, if the talents of Bach or Mozart had written poetry instead of music, The Romance of Being would be one plausible result. In the long tradition of epic poetry from Homer to Virgil, Chaucer, Dante, and Milton, this book must be seen as the capstone to that tradition. Not since Shakespeare has the rhetorical device of irony been put to such effective use. His new dialect of English, with all its intellectual challenges, has produced a narrative (and quotation factory) of unexcelled depth, nuance, and brilliance. This book, once and for all time, demonstrates what language can Achieve when forged by genius.
