For the past decade, Emericus Durden has been busy creating original, disruptive works of art - both literary art and visual art (still photography). Only recently has he begun presenting his works to the public.
In everything he creates, Mr. Durden strives to create works that are intellectually challenging, perhaps even disturbing, though always exciting, suspenseful, and entertaining. In his writings, Mr. Durden has focused on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the sublime - philosophy and spirituality (e.g., "Aiming Higher Than Civilization" and "Beyond Words & Machines") to the much more hellish - murder and brainwashing (e.g., "Two Heads Equal Two Hands" and "Great & Mighty Things").
