Les Poemes Philosophique (Volume 2): The Voices of the Heretics and Saints

In the second volume of his Les Philosophique series, Ivan Kireevskii draws from the kingdoms of antiquity and modern times, reassembling a body of words from out of his own reality and creating a language that may have never existed before: a language aimed at the senses, penetrating far below the conscious level of thought, in search of feeling for syllable and rhythm. His method uncovers layer after layer-an archeological separation of myth from conflated myth.

Kireevskii has developed his special use of language to intensify his consciousness of reality and experience full mystical awareness. He maneuvers his consciousness to the borderline, drawing that which was previously unexpressed into the realm of the expressible. The result is a work often incommensurable and incomprehensible, reflecting his belief that "a poem that leaves nothing to be guessed is no true work of art to the beholder."
