About this title

Synopsis

Enter a dreamlike city of myth and music, where wonderand shadow mingle in solemn beauty.

This volume gathers Frederick Milton Willis’s The City of Is and Other Poems, a collection that tours a surreal world of palaces, gates, and moonlit references. From a dreamer’s walk through Karnak-pillar corridors to the murky stillness of a lake, the poems fuse visionary imagery with intimate, reflective moments. The book blends romance, philosophy, and prophecy in a lyric voice that feels both ancient and personal.

• Experience lush, collage-like scenes of a city “entombed in time” and its enigmatic atmosphere.
• Encounter love poems, dramatic monologues, and meditations on fate, mortality, and beauty.
• Follow shifts between grand, descriptive scenes and introspective, emotional confession.
• Discover titles and sequences that move from surreal landscapes to intimate emotional revelations.

Ideal for readers of poetic mythmaking and late-Romantic/early-20th-century lyric poetry who enjoy dense imagery, symbolic language, and mood-driven narratives.
