The Hebdomeros Suite

A pairing of poetry suites that derive from, and speak to, the joys and splendours, machinations and miseries, of trying to make art. Through an assortment of verse, the novel’s protagonist is transformed into an irascible mini-dictator ruling over an unruly realm – perhaps a metaphor for the Self – upon which he attempts to impose ideas of order and beauty. “The Hebdomeros Suite” is accompanied by “the Bronzino Poems,” which draw from both accurate and purposefully erroneous interpretations of Deborah Parker’s book, Bronzino: Renaissance Painter and Poet. The resulting pieces celebrate not only the formation of art but creation in general, bringing a greater awareness to global cultures and traditions.
