Publisher's Synopsis
The Feast of Flesh and Spirit is Duende. A piece of night. Summoning. Evocative. Dangerous. A selection of poetry, prose, short stories and conversations with archangels, genius loci and the demons of the mind. A work spanning decades. Occult and shamanic. Reflections on every kind of ecstasy and agony. Open at any page. Like an oracle it discusses the depths and madness of love or reminds you how to live. Leave behind the day-to-day-world of office, mortgage, marriage, mansion or ghetto, and enter into an occult landscape where enchantment and animal people dwell. Dedicated to artist Lisa Engeman, who just made it out alive after a seemingly impossible surgical procedure to remove a brain tumor wrapped around her carotid artery, this book is a celebration and a look down the barrel of a smoking gun. The one we've all had. The one we escaped by a whisper.
