This poem is among the rarest of all flowers-a medieval dream-vision for the 21st century.

Written in free verse during a stay at a psychiatric hospital while the poet sincerely believed himself to actually be the titular knight, this grand pastiche and spiritual allegory will tug at your heartstrings and leave you in amazement.

What begins as a rhapsody on Rastafarianism, the history of Broadway, and Shakespeare's Tempest gradually gives way to a sprawling narrative in high style-the labors of Sir Gawain in the town of Semulent and the quest he undertook to achieve the Grail in the Forest of Hidlo, in the eastern reaches of the Land of Nod.

Filled with magical transformations, symbolic correspondences and heartbreaking acts of personal sacrifice, Sir Gawain will leave you in wonder-and may even spark an inner search for a rose of your own...
