Darkacre - Paperback

by Greg Hewett (Author)

A penetrating, richly metaphoric survey of the human landscape.

Through exploring the infrastructure of civilization, the body's intimate topography, and the cultural terrain of Italian opera, Greg Hewett excavates the fields where humanity has erected its monuments, fought its battles, and sowed the seeds of both redemption and ruin: "for everyman's a remainderman / every boundary evidence / every terminus implication / and every acre dark."
