A bold, surreal, and uncompromising journey through life, death, memory, faith, science, and the strange machinery of human existence.
In Ghosted Chimera, r j j stephan i delivers a sprawling work of philosophical poetry and experimental prose that confronts the biggest questions of being alive: Why are we here? What survives after us? Is truth discovered, invented, or merely memorized? And what happens when the ego, the body, the universe, and the void all collide?
Across sixty charged pieces, this collection moves through cosmic imagery, spiritual doubt, mortality, DNA, war, music, American memory, family, desire, extinction, and the absurdity of human certainty. With titles such as Know It All Now, Wisdom Bytes of Lies Memorized, Sometimes You Believe in Love, Sometimes I Doubt It, Vengeance You Can't Escape, Oh Hungry Bird, and Slipped Away Into An Old Man's Sea, the book refuses easy answers and instead invites readers into a restless, provocative inner landscape.
Raw, satirical, darkly humorous, and metaphysical, Ghosted Chimera blends beat-style energy, existential reflection, stream-of-consciousness wordplay, and spiritual rebellion. It is a book for readers who are drawn to experimental literature, philosophical poetry, cosmic questioning, and writing that challenges conventional ideas of God, death, identity, and meaning.
For those who enjoy poetry that pushes boundaries, language that mutates on the page, and meditations on the fragile absurdity of being human, Ghosted Chimera offers a fierce and unforgettable descent into the mystery of existence.
Enter the chimera. Question everything. Leave certainty behind. #JUMP
