About the book
In this anthology, a neurosurgeon philosophizes in verse about the relationship between thought, perception, emotions, psyche and soul.
Emil Asdurian takes his reader to an engrossing journey through the physiological and psychological issues of the day, addressing also other related subjects such as autism, madness and dementia.
These philosophical poems build on a long-lasting and rich literary tradition of writers and thinkers who have cultivated the genre. They fluently echo the works of Parmenides, Lecretius, Goethe, Sartre and Rilke, devising henceforth a completely new king of poetry.
The book pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved through poetry to a higher level, integrating the most recent philosophical and scientific developments into lyrics while keeping its thematic spotlight on the flow and beauty of the very notion of thought.
Emil Asdurian has authored three anthologies and a number of essays. His recent work is the novel The Bells of Silence published in 2019. He is of Albanian-Armenian decent and has been residing in New York since 1995.
