The book culminates...

Kennedy is under the conviction that Freud intended for his theories to explain how the human psyche can be damaged...

Las luces y los apagones que de ellas brotan, tienen la métrica y el compás—de forma y de contenido-para que si uno le ha hecho caso a Nuestro Señor y se ha lanzado a navegar en alta mar, no se estrelle contra ningún peñasco ni encalle en un acantilado, ni acabe de náufrago en la Isla de Soqotra o en la bahía de Sulawesi. Si es diestro de alma, eso sí, puede llegar a Jauja,...

If there is any doubt that Denny Farrell is the most astonishing poet of our time, the Romance of Being should put that to rest. Indeed, if the talents of Bach or Mozart had written poetry instead of music, The Romance of Being would be one plausible result. In the long tradition of epic poetry from Homer to Virgil, Chaucer, Dante, and Milton, this book must be seen as the capstone to that tradition. Not since Shakespeare has the rhetorical device...
