Query: A Modern Decadent

Over a hundred years ago, the Decadent Poets staked out newemotional ground in verse: Baudelaire, Verlaine...the visionsthey presented were sometimes stark and harsh, sometimesbreathtakingly beautiful, but never hesitant in laying outthe anquish and joy of life. Hathaway joins this companywith Miasma. On the back cover of the book, there is a photoof him looking out at us through a literal miasma of cigarettesmoke, with an excerpt of his poetry: "He sits in an emptybar/with the ghost of memory/beside him smoking cigarettes/They say nothing to each other/only exchange glances/withcomplete understanding". That image followed me into thebook, where his haunting verses and ethereal black and whitephotos complete a trip down into the raw edges of feeling.The unflinching honesty of a dark mirror...a remarkable book.
