Katabasis, A Stygian Odyssey

Katabasis, A Stygian Odyssey

In Katabasis, architect poet Richard England descends into the mythic underworld in a visionary journey guided by the tormented shades of Cain and Judas. Through a haunting procession of spectral encounters and allegorical architectures he traverses the Citadels of the Seven Capital Sins rendered in enigmatic visual dreamscapes. Katabasis fuses word and image in a mythopoetic account of the author’s dream walk odyssey to the Stygian netherworld.

‘Never has a mortal man with flesh and bones
come to Hades’ house
while still alive.’
