The collected poems of poet Nicholas Duke are presented here in his first collection titled, Black Orpheus - Poems of Dreams and Dementia. No other poet has embodied the sacred and the profane through metaphysical and symbolic verse that is painted with thick strokes the deities and demons he projects and protects. Automatic stream of consciousness, drug-induced tangent, or digested spiritual trance, readers travel with Nick through the arteries of lust, addiction and rebirth to find new pathways of literature, to explore the avant-garde writings of this modern alchemist of words.
