The Brimstone Boat

The poem explores the dynamic relationship between Will Alexander and his predecessor, Lamantia, celebrating the transfer of creative energy between the two surrealist poets. Alexander's work serves as a tribute to Lamantia's life and writings, reflecting a journey through a Renaissance-inspired landscape. As he takes on the mantle of America's leading surrealist poet following Lamantia's passing in 2005, Alexander embarks on a continuous voyage of artistic discovery, embodying the spirit of "perpetual exploration."
