The Poems Of A Dead Metaphysician

About the Book

THE POEMS OF A DEAD METAPHYSICIAN will injure a reader with the meanings of a mosaic murder, of a crucified dithyramb, of denomination, of a bog that can only be found in a cryptic system of molten, psychological forethought, something which will force a fomentation of idiosyncrasy and simulacrum to terminate, where madness can stand as a pedigree and interpose the like of a witch... of an intonation whose intellectual management leads one to huddle with the icy ideas of a holocaust-house, of an infinity of future forms whose only purpose is to cause the assassination of an asylum and to build a system of what is an institutionalized position of griffin-like creatures: all of whom will serve as the domestic mentors of the futilitarian days to come.

About the Author

J. William Long was born on the second anniversary of Pearl Harbor day, 1943, in Buffalo, New York. After completing his basic education, Mr. Long served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps. After concluding his military tour of duty, he finished a bachelor’s degree in history at Cal Poly Pomona, California, then a master’s degree in liberal arts from the University of Southern California in 1980. Mr. Long published his first novel, AJAX, in 1988 and while a primary interest of his has always been the continued study of universal axiology, THE POEMS OF A DEAD METAPHYSICIAN will cause a reader to enter a psychological carrefour, a directional place where one can run away from pathology, or wallow in the verse of such multiple categories.
