Description
Grasping Mens Metaphors is a journey through a maze of beliefs constructed over millennia by the poet and the pornographer with the same tools: language and image. From the frame established by the opening section, through parodies of literary pretentions, poses and poseurs, Grasping Mens Metaphors moves towards a dramatic re-examination of the uses and meanings of myths and sybmols.
