Drawing inspiration from a childhood fascination with the stories of King Solomon and Empress Makeda of Sheba in the Biblical Song of Songs, The Kebra Nagast, and the works of Josephus, as well as Gnostic depictions of the unique intimacy between the Messiah called Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, this book evokes an ecstatic narrative of the forbidden love-- at once historical, Scriptural, and mythical-- between King David & Bathsheba. A unique reverie that is at once ancient and anachronistic, the poems and bits of surreal prose contained herein bring the story of David and Bathsheba to life with a bit of a post-postmodern voice, revealing the truth of passion that endures, haunts, & heals.
