MASS

Robert Lunquist’s MASS is a unique and compelling book long poem consisting of a series of observations and spiritually informed variations on the science of the soul. Following a shattering event an unnamed protagonist experiences a series of revelations concerning present pain, future promise and the secret solutions of the past. Its complex system unravels with an elegance of style and an erudition all of its own. A hymn to the heart and the mind.
