Hogg is about discovery, love, beauty, time, affirmation... Hogg (the character) is the common-person's person: though his right foot may often be in the wrong shoe, he is a roar of exuberance! Hogg believes the word given must be through the love of a woman - but the voice was locked in stone... And so he looks for solace in a place beyond words: his art, visually engaging his emotions through images both playful and malign. Hogg then carries his anguish into the Toronto subways where, station-by-station, he encounters the prophets of the underground: Hogg shoots craps with Doctor Ded; goes face-to-face with Medusa; watches a man commit suicide; listens to the preachings of charlatans and hustlers as he travels toward the redeeming light of Union Station. Hogg reflects, is renewed, and again goes out, this time to the dark winter of Russian secret surveillance, where he discovers only a world locked in ice. Hogg is the messenger-poet who remains true to himself. He is alive to hope more than survival, to prayer as more than madness, to life lived beyond the immediate. This beautifully produced edition is enriched by 40 original artworks that enhance Hogg's poetic adventure.
