Arch Hades: Arcadia (Paperback, 2022, Eyewear Publishing) 5 stars

Beautifully capturing the present

5 stars

I got this book after seeing the Video at a Museum in Amsterdam (vimeo.com/639528236). And it's really amazing. It's the first time I've read a poem with footnotes and a bibliography.

Arcadia lyrically examines our current society especially with regard to consumerism and social media. It builds on the work of philosophers and thinkers both current and old. In this examination I saw beautiful words put to what I had been feeling for a long time. But then it goes further and offers up a possible path forward to escape this hellish condition we find ourselves in.
