O knihe

The poems collected in Memo from Alamut convey a different meaning for every reader receptive to them as communiques of literary energy bursting into a variety of shapes and structures that address human consciousness and respond according to the ways the works affect their sensibilities. In much the way a millennium of mythological contradictions and inaccurate historical accounts have transformed the mystique of Alamut castle and Hassan-i-Sabbah, its legendary resident, into a tangle of conflicting tales, so the poems range through multiple paths of meaning as they continue their historical resistance to the control of orthodoxy and carry the pursuit of knowledge beyond the limits others have perceived. In an era in which disposable literature has overtaken the more enduring forms, Memo from Alamut summons the cultural assassins whose efforts attempt to restore a canceled culture to a position that will revive its innovative instincts and endure to explore the possibilities of language in its evolving forms.
