Henry Virgin wrote the poem 'Anthelion' in 1996. Set out in 13 cantos, it charts the tale of a wandering voice, through the streets of London, out of town, over oceans, continents, deserts and mountain passes. Love, and the lack of it, is ever the guiding light. Experiencing an array of characters and situations, the protagonist ventures forth, determined to reach his goal. Part soliloquy, part love poem, part spirit flight and invocation, this lyrical abstraction arouses the soul with a sonorous flow of visions and ideas. Blending insight and humour, this poem will delight and astound you.
