Publisher's Synopsis
VOX NIHILI ("voice of nothing") is traditionally used to signify a worthless or meaningless word-especially one produced by mistake. As the title of an unnamed protagonist's strange, rebellious, and quite possibly mad symphonic monologue, it represents the ultimately irrepressible collective voice of the alienated, downtrodden and made-to-disappear ciphers of the modern age; or then again, it might just be the apt description of a contemporary Tom O'Bedlam's mindless ramblings as he, or maybe she, stews in a padded room or prison cell. Whatever one's interpretation, VOX NIHILI is a dramatic soliloquy to the nth degree, the voice of poetry shrieking and singing in the bottomless abyss of universal nothingness. Vox Nihili: The Complete Edition contains all four parts (Part One: Morning; Part Two: Afternoon; Part Three: Evening; and Part Four: Night) of Justin Allan Arnold's sui generis dramatic long poem, as well as a special section of Endnotes.
