The Starry Dynamo: The Machinery of Night Remixed

Spanning over fifteen years of work, The Starry Dynamo presents an eclectic evolution of material running the gamut from the erotic to the divine and the erotically divine to the divinely erotic. The work moves from charged and, at times, provocative fiction and prose-poetry to scholarly and thought-provoking essays on spirituality and philosophy. The diverse topics include the history of the commune at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon and the Reagan administration's action to suppress it; William S. Burroughs' gnostic mythology of the Space Age; Michel Foucault and the epistemology of the Self; the androgynous occulture of the fin de siecle and more.
