" . . . the poet in Boston aligns with the storyteller to create
one evocative scene after another . . . awesome talents . . . writes
like a demon with a stained glass hand." The masques of 17th century Europe presented dramatic entertainers based on mythic themes and enhanced by lavish costumes and sets. The entertainments in Bruce Boston's Masque of Dreams fashion myths of their own and are enhanced by the voice of a poet, often lyric and at times pyrotechnic. Journey to the depths of a mutant rain forest that strikes back against the encroachments of civilization. Join a Victorian stage magician in his search for real magic. Descend to the depths of an omnivorous singularity where everything is everything. Meet a true gentleman farmer and stand with vorpal sword in hand.
"Imagine if you dare Ted Sturgeonesque compassion, the needle wit
of Fredric Brown, and the shockingly precise word usage of a truly
skilled poet all blended seamlessly into a single (and singularly
beguiling) artist's work." | ||||||||||
