A brilliantly composed, elegantly expressed, crudely and courageously candid collection of musings both mystical and mundane, erotic and existential, simultaneously celebrating and lamenting the beauty and brevity of the human experience in all its corporeal vulnerability and spiritual loneliness. Flowing with desperate dreams of ambition and lust, flush with universal fears of mortality and relatable hopes for redemption and catharsis, Nathaniel Blackhelm immediately establishes himself as a pop culture poet for the prurient and the passionate, a stunningly self-aware hybrid of Russ Meyer and Charles Bukowski, reflecting not only our complicated zeitgeist, but all eras of temporal endurance.
LOTHARIO is the epic, irreverent manifesto of a lascivious man who has reached the midpoint in his life's journey only to find certain culturally taboo subjects-sex, race, class, religion-eating away at his soul.
What results from the exorcism of his faults and follies into the medium of raw poetry is a daring blend of eroticism, comedy, and biting social commentary that would make even the Marquis de Sade blush.
Ready the crucifixes.
Set cultural phasers to cancel.
Turn away, all ye who are easily offended.
A bold new bard of the bawdy has arrived, and given the nature of his pen, he may not be staying around very long.
