Yggdrasil

Ranging from a polemical account of the founding of ancient Britain by the Old Syrians through to an outrageous and rollicking account of the events on the eve of the nativity <i>Yggdrasil</i> does not skirt any sacred ground in its search for clarity amid the canonized tenets of historical dogmas. Probing the roots of Chaucerian verse and medieval poesy to dredge up a coherent modernistic sensibility Morgan Alexander Brown turns to ancient history to proof his calculations all while striving to maintain a distanced objectivity--an attempt he deems impossible for any man to undertake with his boldest of declarations; namely that the natural state of man is hypocrisy. Ripping in his satire Brown's verses crush the very pillars of accepted truths and prep the foundations for original thought.</P>This volume contains 26 poems with notes by the author and 17 original illustrations supplying readers with a plentiful sampling of Brown's best works composed early on in his career.
