Publisher's Synopsis
This epic' mixed poetry and prose text about an area of upstate New York is organised around seven historical, geographical and aesthetic events that once took place along the euphoniously-named Esopus River, with which the author says he fell in 'green love.' Peter Lamborn Wilson provides a literary and philosophical tour-de-force of local history, including the 'cartolagic' documentations of the performances he conducted to commemorate and to 're-enchant these landscapes' so threatened by vulgar materialism and ecological devastation.'
