Changeling
The intended effect
A poem which feels like an absurdist play. A fin de siècle Algerian sandstorm of Aleister Crowley sorcery, sex magick and gazing into the abyss. An absinthean intoxication of language, music and what it feels like to be first a camel, then a zebra and then a donkey. The haunting before Modernism rose up.
Reactions
"It's not settling with me, which I love."
"The writing is sublime. What a ride."
"This is the only poem I have read that declared it was the ‘most important poem of the aeon’, It may be precisely that."
"There’s much else I don’t begin to understand, but admire. The writing flashes and sparkles. It’s imaginative and resonant."
