Arthur Mortensen's
A DISCIPLE AFTER THE FACT
Read wonderfully, enaging my complete attention throughout, and has
an especially effective after-impression. The author has great mastery
of narrative form. What makes it truly exceptional is the human level
of Edward coming to trips with his disappointment, especially as tied into
the future of the cultural and artistic world growing out of how we, in our
times, have so distorted reality and art. This leads to leavels of
the poem which work with theater's reality and fantasy, and on to society's
realities and fantasies, while the center of the poem has us in a futuristic
Inferno.
---Dick Allen, author of Ode to
the Cold War, The Day Before, and
many other collections.
Disciple After The Fact is an enormously
original work, full of gorgeous and often ghastly visions, a new vision of
New York, almost a genre of its own -- or a revival of an ancient, medieval
one, the "visio." It really has something. It's important, a
moral statement about our future that should be heard.
---Frederick Turner
