Key To The Afterlife Hoax

I want to straighten out this twisted world
with love and laughter flowing from our hearts
through inspired guidance of the cosmic herald
who maps our noble quest on psychic charts,
but social conflict entangles

Replace Yourself With I

I bloom into the future of my soul
each time I open door of solitude
and disappear into wild wind of time
because I weep for loss of every mind
whose dreams and memories vanish after death
though I try to hear

Empty Stage Of Faith

Awake from dream on empty stage of faith,
Mercurius clutches broken turtle shell
amid skeletons of Jove and his court,
and gazes far from flat-top pyramid
at herds of cows grazing in fields of wheat
where skulls of

Fane Of Phoebus

The fane he built two centuries ago
in dark untrodden region of his mind
still lurks in grove of pines by lulling stream
where trellis of his vanished mind now leans
hung thick with vines of grapes no angels eat,
but

“THE INHERITANCE is, then, a novel concerned with questions of morality and education, but also national identity, the differences between Scottish and English cultures, and the stereotypes within human nature that both divide and unite the two. It is also very funny”

—The Books & Borrowing 1750–1830 Project on Susan Ferrier’s second novel, THE INHERITANCE

“Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

An 1893 article in The Atlantic Magazine, contrasting the careers of Susan Ferrier & Jane Austen

We republished Susan Ferrier’s MARRIAGE in 2020—using the text of the acid-sharp 1819 edition rather than the sentimentalised Victorian version of 1842. Read the first chapter free online here:

Pegasus Without Wings

Somewhere hidden in Bible of my dreams
my demon wrestles Alligator Queen
to escape despair for power to sing
dreams humanity conceals in their hearts
till I steal lyre of Mercury from Death
whose screams of horror

Essential Force Of Life

As weight of time shifts through my ardent soul
I touch conceptual light of candle flame
to sense essential force of life in Earth
that gives me strength to touch the edge of time
where I pretend my body is more

Glorious Dream Of Heaven

When evening breeze whispers in maple grove,
farmers and craftsmen of small frontier town
gather for prayer on verdant river shore
with wives and children in clusters of hats,
then earnest voices murmur in blue

Why Of The Wordless Abyss

Green mountain that shines in the distant sky
provides foundation for my memories
as timeless landscape of my cosmic play
where nameless strangers manifest world mind
shaped by impulses of aggressive force

Angelic Ghost Of Faith

How beautiful to float in nothingness
of painful light that stabs my love-numbed heart
with searing agony of social shame
that weighs my heart with gravity of joy
transformed to shattered hope that cuts my hands

Control Mindless Fate

Exquisite tension of my body ghost
reverberates expansive waves of hope
though I repress intention of nerve haste
that reshapes primal passion of the ape
I have been for six million years of lust,
so I drink grape

Song Of The Siren Lamia

Every morning when I wake in the dark
that glows with uncanny light of the moon,
I hear song of the siren Lamia hum
with soul-enchanting spell of naked hope,
so I stretch in light of the rising sun,
delighting

Human Just Like Me

Though machines we design from dreamy hope
to assist our struggles evading death
eat our lives with efficient cheerfulness,
we lie about our strange ability
to fool ourselves with illusion of faith
that we can survive

Knowledge Of True Love

Bread and cheese on round table by the door
discuss philosophy with apple juice
to understand why light slants in the window
that illustrates old sorrows of mankind
we give each other with unspoken words

Core Of The Uncarved Block

Deep inside at core of the Uncarved Block
weird untouched essence of the thing I see
radiates perpetual passion of the sun
in secret code of dreams only birds know
because I hear it in their casual songs
