Synopsis

ORGIA: Songlines of Fear, Desire, & the Sublime is a poetic cantata whose invitation to readers it disguises as a mystical warning - To drink from the cup of the Divine is to drink from the cup of Madness!

Like Priest's earlier works, Salt of the Dancer: Selected Verse and The Passion of Valentino Santi, ORGIA is a spiritual endeavor, weaving metaphorical threads of various mythological systems and religions into a single luminous cloth. Once again, Priest's penchant for perennial wisdom is on lavish display.

Nevertheless, ORGIA feels different in a way. Its poems (or songlines as Priest calls them) possess a threefold nature; they are part sinner's confession, socio-political admonishment, and candid conversation with the unconscious.

Upon reading ORGIA, one arrives at three truths; first, the foot and stem of the Divine cup exist in the bosom of the mundane; second, its author has sipped copiously from it; and third, Life is messy and gloriously so.
