The Parliament of Poets: An Epic Poem, THE ARGUMENT:
“Passage from India. Passage to the Americas. Borges opens the door. Walt Whitman captains the Persona back from the “streams of the Indus and the Ganges,” “circumnavigation.” Pacific blue. Octavio Paz, a shape-shifting jaguar, and Teotihuacan, the Temple of the Moon. Neruda’s “The Heights of Machu Picchu.” Borges, through a mirror, on the pampas, Buenos Aires. Argentina’s “disappeared.” Under the Southern Cross, bitter juntas of the soul. Mirror moon draws in the Persona, onward to another continent.”
