The Chandra Oracles

"These 360 prose poems are a non-sequential epic consistingof three books, the other two being called The Omega Oracles and The Azoth Oracles, each of those also containing 360 poems, to make a total of 1,080 poems.

These poems are dreams that have all sorts of interconnections between them, for just like dreams they contain recurrent imagery that appears over and over in many variations. Herein are to be found a plethora of metaphysical truths, though not necessarily presented in a logical way, for as many believe, logic often hides more truth than it reveals, and can destroy much subtlety with its acid of oversimplification. No, these poems are definitely not simple, and if they seem simple at times it's because they delight in hiding beneath a ground cover of unexpressed implications.

And as there is no need to read them in any set order, you may open the book to a random page are read as many as you like, and in any order you like. They want to induce you to think of things other than just themselves, for they are, hopefully, doorways into your own imagination.

I, John Sandbach, am editor in chief of this book, which has many authors who currently lack physical mouths, and so speak through me. Sometimes they flow together like many colors of water, so that I can no longer know who is who. But I hear them, and I write down their words that flow into mine with such osmotic enchantment that often I'm no longer certain who's speaking. Above all, I hope you enjoy them."
