Far Cry is a death poem that becomes a creation song. An epic literary work, it is a single sentence spanning two-thirds of a million words. In his final moment, a poet reflects upon his life and all life. His uttered cry represents not only his own being, but universal being. Representation becomes embodiment, as in death he inhabits the word he cries, and bequeaths it in sacred trust to the next voice.

“If you’ve ever seen a butterfly peruse a flower, you will know how to read, and if you’ve ever hearkened to the song of the sea, you will know how to speak, and if you’ve ever heeded the call of the rain, you will know how to cry, and if you’ve ever gazed at the words in the sky, you will know how to write.”
