Featured Work
JOB 33
Imagination & Madness In A Glass Darkly
I was born naked—a pre-birth experiencer. Being nothing, that nothing in the life of absurdity is taboo, for Anthony Chaney shares his examinations and experiences in the form of poetry. JOB 33 brings us the author's story of remembering how he came into the world as a spirit. That is as a soul. Reincarnation. Being reincarnated into the world of existence. Growing up in the world and learning about cultural variables, all while experiencing the "Phenomenon." Encounters with religion, spirituality, mysticism, and the supernatural. JOB 33 is his examination of the book of Job, wherein he finds solace and meaning in Job's Dream Vision model. One that the author sees as a beautiful poem about the possibility of reincarnation being discussed. Anthony Chaney can only speak to us as a poet.
