Fumaroles Anthony Arcuri

In this musing work, author Anthony Arcuri offers a unique literary composition by an irrepressible artist, who defiantly creates with disdain for the qualifications that would legitimize and commend his work. Fumaroles offers a compilation of sonnet-length entries recorded in the fashion of a journal and divided into three books. Each entry may be read singly as a free-form sonnet or as sequential stanzas within the various cantos. The rich collection resolves into a proud monologue, a passionate, soul-quenching outpouring. As a dialogue between an individual and his race, based on immersion in the very spirit of the age, these verses seek to sort out beliefs in disarray and firm up the world view of the audience, either by harmonizing or clashing with those of Arcuri-and providing worthwhile benefit regardless. Expressing a mystical love for all existence, this volume of epic poetry explores one man's relationship with his race and the world around him.
