A Monthly Account of the Year Leading Up to the End of the World, by Agonistes, Prophet and Fulfiller or The Exhausted Dream

A Monthly Account by Joshua Edwards is a pocket-sized epic, small enough to rest in your palm, yet vast in ambition. Structured with meticulous precision, this year-long poem unfolds in twelve monthly sections, each dated from January to December 2012. Every section contains ten stanzas, each stanza ten lines, every line exactly ten syllables - a form as exacting as it is elegant. Within this rigorous frame, the speaker, Agonistes, bursts forth in waves of raw feeling and restless thought, echoing the emotional intensity of Goethe’s Werther, Byron’s Childe Harold, and Senancour’s Obermann. The result is a striking interplay between restraint and passion, a poetic dance of order and turbulence. Details Format: Paperback Pages: 128 Dimensions: 6" x 4" x 4" Weight: 5 oz.
