Compare Epistola II by Quillan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Epistola II begins with a continuation of romantic verses regarding the art and struggles of love while probing into the darker side of unfulfilled passion. Quillan's longtime interest in Native American culture is reflected within the Epistola series by the experimental use of Tsalagi (Cherokee), beautifully employing the language to accent thoughts and emotions. A love affair with a city, poetry of the 1950s/1960s, and his Protestant background also inspired portions of Epistola II. Quillan does not claim to be a theologian, but merely a spiritual wanderer seeking his genesis while airing his religious laundry along the way. The poet continues to divagate on various tangents of concerns and contemplations, and eventually concludes with a 13-piece collection regarding libertine issues according to his interpretation of early American documents, essays, and orations. Quillan's command of the English language enables him to create with ink and paper vivid emotions and colorful passion. Epistola II is not fast food; this is epicurean cuisine for the mind and soul. | Epistola II by Quillan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
