From the Publisher The masques of 17th century Europe presented dramatic entertainments based on mythic themes and enhanced by lavish costumes and sets. The entertainments in Bruce Boston's Masque of Dreams fashion myths of their own and are enhanced by the voice of a poet, often lyric and at times pyrotechnic. Journey to the depths of a mutant rain forest that strikes back against the encroachments of civilization. Join a Victorian stage magician in his search for real magic. Descend to the depths of an omnivorous singularity where everything is everything. Meet a true gentleman farmer and stand with vorpal sword in hand. Explore these masques of illusion and identity that entertain as they mine the limits of reality and dreams. Product Description A poet writes stories based on mythic themes with fantasy elements.
