    Astralia, and Yet
    Author

    Lars L. Lien

    Lars L. Lien insists he’s among the world’s oppressed. For shared eminence and impact—All Sorts, Lies of a Kind is unrivalled—Lien’s poetic expression reveals a fine-tuned voice that is bound to stir the reader’s curiosity. Society is sick, claims the poet, and the world and its variegated stages a troublesome, irking place. Man is an unlikely being; the living soul, ambitious. The call and wrathful nature of the soul destined to free itself from the herdlike state; the ways of a materialistic, cataclysmic world is immediate throughout and given prominence —his poetic imagery is marked by dissilience and vividness, yet there’s room for thought in Lien’s work.
