"Death captured McCain. No honor in that. Everything alive shares the fate of death. McCain wrote his farewell address months before he took his last breath. A White House staffer had read an early draft to Don. Don listened to only a few sentences before commenting, "cancer has raddled McCain's brain". Don waited for the self-proclaimed maverick to die. The impatience challenged his usual limited patience." So begins the story of Donald Trump's journey into a "Covfefe Carol". Donald Trump lives his life like Charles Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge.

"Palace of Narcissus" is the ninth canto of Kit Ludlow's art-poetry epic, Orpheus. Years have passed since Orpheus journeyed into Hades to retrieve his wife. That adventure failed due to his cursed look back. After Bedlam, the famed poet wandered into Sheol, a forgotten underworld. He had no narrative; only lyrical verse to make sense of the world. In the fifth canto, Orpheus awakens from his daze to begin the reclamation of his wife, poetry. Orpheus, in the sixth canto, realizes he must sacrifice himself to Dionysus. In the seventh, "Dance for Danace", Orpheus discovers that he is no one. As no one, he calls for Charon to ferry him across the Styx and to the gates of Hades. There he tells Charon to pity the suicides. In the eighth canto, Orpheus is confronted by the sorrows of the shallow. There he must decide to continue his journey or rest. In the ninth canto, his vanity is tested. Every line of the poem is illustrated by the poet's own artwork. All artwork is original to the canto. It is conscious-made through many techniques and artistic modes (not AI generated). Follow Kit Ludlow on Instagram for future art and upcoming releases. IG: kitludlow.

The Prosody of Shadows was composed during the early days of the War on Terror and the build-up to the Iraq war. It was completed sometime around march of 2003. The piece began as a tradition narrative, discarded and then rewritten as a disjointed Spiritus Mundi piece. A few phrases and words were edited. Much of it could be rewritten or forgotten. The self-made policy was to not censor the callowness or awkwardness of the piece. It was decided that the time-capsule nature of the piece was more essential. The Prosody of Shadows weaves previous events in early 2000's politics to see how the then present IRAQ War came about. Examples of the events include the Battle of Mogadishu, Senator Wellstone's death, 9/11, Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian uprising, Clinton's impeachment/decision to lie and the first modern, non-popular vote, electoral college presidency.
