Rescue Mission's poems offer a web of delicate, paradoxical, surprising and explosive imagery coupled with multi-layered references to western culture, ancient mythologies, the scriptures and the arts. This tragic-ironic, Dantean ride will have you turning the pages. Ripe age on the brink mixes with childhood ridden by Gothic nightmares, mature Eros with playful Thanatos, Pan with the pandemic, the personal with the political, Apocalypse with Resurrection. Lose no precious despair, ye who enter here.
