Icaros
Icaros is a psychedelic odyssey that roams from Los Angeles to Andromeda and is set to a soundtrack of 1960s and 70s rock and roll classics, this playful debut collection of prose poems from Matthew Schultz riffs on counterculture literature from The Beats and Surrealists to Science Fiction and Fantasy. An encomium to poets like Max Jacob, Jim Morrison, Terrance Hayes, and Jose Hernandez Diaz, Schultz considered the intersections among prose and poetry, space and time, imagination and reality, the known and the unknown.
