During two months in Athens, Greece, C. A. Corbell wrote this collection of poems chronicling daily sights and thoughts, musing on city and soul, evoking the oracular with lyrical surrealism, and invoking the creative-divine in humanity.<\/p>\n
Amid the sprawling multi-verse of possible poetic utterance Corbell\u2019s voice sings and searches, maintaining touchstones of lyrical craft and symbol that connect archaic mystery with urban modernity. The pilgrim\u2019s path followed here leads not to anachronism but rather to a celebration of ever-unfolding sacred actuality, a recognition of the soul\u2019s acropolis which can always be seen from the \u201cgardens and garages where we gather.\u201d<\/p>\n
