Ranging from a polemical account of the founding of ancient Britain by the Old Syrians through to an outrageous and rollicking account of the events on the eve of the nativity, "Yggdrasil" does not skirt any sacred ground in its search for clarity amid the canonized tenets of historical dogmas. Probing the roots of Chaucerian verse and medieval poesy to dredge up a coherent modernistic sensibility, Morgan Alexander Brown turns to ancient history to proof his calculations, all while striving to maintain a distanced objectivity--an attempt he deems impossible for any man to undertake with his boldest of declarations; namely, that "the natural state of man is hypocrisy." Ripping in his satire, Brown's verses crush the very pillars of accepted truths and prep the foundations for original thought. This volume contains 26 poems with notes by the author, and 17 original illustrations, supplying readers with a plentiful sampling of Brown's best works composed early on in his career.
