A poetic journey through the rings of good and evil in order to rediscover the tree of life. During the days and months following 9/11/2001, while strolling the streets of Manhattan and living on unemployment in Brooklyn, Israfel Sivad completed these poems. They were his attempt to try to make sense out of what was happening to his beloved city, and they were his attempt to quell the emotions that he felt ripping himself apart inside. Immersing himself in Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, and the Wu-Tang Clan, in those days, Israfel Sivad completely redefined himself as an artist. He used the world around him for inspiration… even basing his line breaks off of the way he saw language used in ads on the subway. Having been written upon the theory that poetry was primarily not only a spoken but also a written art form, ten years later, this same collection became the jumping off point for Ursprung Collective, a spoken word/poetry project founded by Israfel Sivad and the composer: gn0m0n.
