Poems: Brief Intervals: ROBB: A Gnostical Closet Drama In Two Acts

[Back Cover]

“The present work combines two different forms but of similar content: a poetic form and a dramatic form noted as “closet” drama because intended for reading rather than a staged production. In both cases erotic content is presented in allusion to a variety of  metaphors overlapped in the erotic play of opposites. Any literal erotic content is thus ambivalent  insofar as the sublime aspect of cuniunctio competes with its common and familiar demonstrations.
