Description

Metropantheon imagines the mythological origins, the ecstatic rites, and the divine interventions that comprise the essential nature of cities -- the mythic hotels, the gods of coffee, street noise, and commuting, prayers to the lord of parking spaces and corporate ambition, hymns to the muses of sex, death, and roller derby, and recurring tales of the legendary graffitichild, who ties together the advent and apocalypse of all cities.
