The Eros Consipracy
Poetry by Greg Hewett

"The Eros Conspiracy is an urbane, sophisticated meditation on sexuality, politics, and history, from ancient Greece to our time, with impressive forays into the failed Soviet imperium, Mao's China, and Rimbaud's France. Hewett's poetic tableau assembles Johann Joachim Winckelmann, Karl Marx, Michelangelo, Marlon Brando, Paul Klee, Dante, Zhou Enlai, Homer, Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, Marilyn Monroe and a host of others, who animate his fanciful but deeply serious consideration of the idea of revolution in art and thought. Such ambition for the lyric mode is well realized here, and readers will be enchanted."—Carolyn Forché

Beauty meets History and Love clashes with Revolution in this original, intimate, and intrigue-fueled treatise on politics, passion, and possession.
