ABOUT ELYSIAD
Julian’s Elysiad is an epic poem comprised of 12 Books and written in English blank verse—the first of its kind in nearly four hundred years. Despite its nod to tradition, however, the work dramatically engages with the contemporary world, recounting the death of God in the 20th Century, a Poet’s journey into the Underworld to rescue him, and the subsequent resurrection of the Sacred in our own time. Formal in structure and technique, it embodies the metamodern return to myth and aesthetic craftsmanship, making it a prime specimen of New Classicism. To read select Cantos from the poem, visit www.elysiad.com.
ABOUT NEW CLASSICISM
Exemplary of the emergent metamodern sensibility, New or Metamodern Classicism is a formalist movement in the Arts born of an oscillation between modern and postmodern contraries. While accepting postmodernism’s radical skepticism of meaning and authority, it simultaneously affirms a (pre)modern commitment to admittedly-fraught ideals such as Purpose, Beauty, and the Sacred. The end is an entirely new classical system—one indebted to and inspired by historical classicisms, yet ultimately sui generis and rooted in the Human condition of the 21st Century.
