“Quintet For The Apocalypse” : Preview and Purchase
“The year 2012 brought forth QUINTET FOR THE APOCALYPSE by Michael D. Main, a powerfully written, conceived, and illustrated work overflowing with intense shamanic beauty and profoundly evocative drama. Prescient in its language, consuming in its visual impact, QUINTET FOR THE APOCALYPSE marks the singular achievement of Michael D. Main, a writer determined to forge ahead beyond the wasteland of contemporary poetic mediocrity to establish a concrete artistic vision into new horizons of literary abstraction.
“As a Language Poet, MICHAEL D. MAIN is a consummate developer and redeveloper of poetry systems, sometimes working with Hinge Theory, originally created by Heller Levinson with Michael Annis, and via elements found in a Chaos Refolding: Helix of Mirrors which defines and describes the idea of art within a “grammaring matrix” as proposed by Henry Avignon.
“These ideas and theories were synthesized by Michael Main into his own systems of language articulation and ultimately adapted to his literary discipline. From these systems, Main has created startling advances in style and syntax, with a literary voice that is quite original, although he gives due credit to other writers and artists as being mentors and inspirations in his own creative journey”. – HDP Publisher Michael Annis, January 2013.
