The Red Book of Lance

A spark in the dark to set the world on fire, words of flame cried in the wilderness by a madman who is damned to tell the truth, <i>The Red Book of Lance</i> is fourteen dozen of this modern master's meticulous poems introduced by his physician and illustrated with cover portraits by his son. <br><br> Darker than his other books yet brightened by flashes of mad humor, the work reflects the gravity of the times, speaking prophetically of political change and social evolution. <br><br> This seventh book of Lance is a distillation of deep meditation on life and madness, the world and the universe, the self and others, and the journey of the soul. <br><br> In <i>The Red Book of Lance</i> the poet breaks out, breaks through, and means to change your mind: burn baby burn.
