Psalm of the Hyacinth - Kit Ludlow - Bog

"The Psalm of Hyacinth" is a three-sonnet poem written from the point-of-view of Orpheus. It is told after his failed attempt to retrieve Eurydice from Hades, his years of wandering and the dismemberment from the Maenads of Dionysus. The poem is from the Orphic Bible, a collection of Orpheus' poems and writings. The poems have no elements of Orphism or any other mystery religion from the ancient world. Many of those works survive in references from the poets of antiquity. This poem is a supplemental work to Kit Ludlow's "Orpheus". "Book One: City of Time" is available now. "Book Two: Lotus of the Outis" will be release near the end of 2022. For updates, artwork and progress on "Orpheus", follow Kit Ludlow on Instagram (unique ID: kitludlow).
