IT'S ARRIVED! – Volume 4 of ARTHUR DIES has now been released on Luna Bisonte. This series is the main lifelong crucible for my poetic and mystical life. As much Blake as Monmouth. If one's going to read only one thing by me, this project is the closest to my heart (along with the long-ago 'Ecstatic Nerve').
This is the longest volume yet, and over two years in the writing. It includes a Vispo-Flipbook chapter, concrete palimpsest-poems that survived the burning of Vortigern's Tow'r, a prose chapter written like a straightforward historical fiction novel, hermetic-mythopoeic maps, and other avantrickeries.
Narratively, insofar as you can read the narrative, it's also the first volume which has a somewhat happy ending, with the fascist police state toppled (though of course any happy ending is temporary in an epic named after its hero's death). Lots and lots of battles. Arthur's birth is still off on the horizon of the next volume, but you finally meet Merlin – wearing a plague mask.
