Gnosis, An Erotic Correspondence

Spinning from erotic to metaphysical, devotional to blasphemous, romantic to exploitative, D.S. West's collected poetry from 2013-2017 captures the isolation and the disassociation, the desire and the despair, the erotic and spiritual yearnings of a solitary artist. Poetic recollections of a loveless youth in rural poverty dovetail into attempts to acclimate to an equally loveless life of the mind. When metaphysical and romantic yearnings become entwined and confused, poetry becomes a celebration of the creative act and serenades to impending death, to goddesses and historical figures, to a passionate love that can only speculated, dreamed or otherwise conceived of.
