The Architecture of the Abyss

by David Hosford

The Architecture of the Abyss is a visionary book. Navigating a landscape of desire, obsession, melancholia and eroticism, this vivid sequence of prose poems draws on metaphysics, symbolism and the occult to chart the beauty and horror of the soul’s descent into ‘disintegration and revelation in the abyss beneath the glittering mirror of existence.’
