Sobre IBD

On the Nature of Gods presents two epic poems written by author juanantoñio that explore love, loss, greed, and their transformative properties. The first poem, 'Fallen Woman,' tells the tale of an underworld god, Crystal Man, and his creation-a god-like woman and companion called Evening Star. Becoming her own person, she escapes, and he rampages through all time trying to find her. Both Crystal Man and Evening Star, along with the history of the world, are transformed by this epic struggle as they try to consummate their love. The second epic poem, 'Flaco: The Demi-God and the Nature of the Gods,' focuses on a demi-god, who through the love of greed and power, tries to control and devour his world-only to find that he has lost his way, rejected by an awakened Amanecer. juanantoñio completes On the Nature of Gods with two short poems about life in Washington Heights, his home.
