‘Esezezus’ book & album Launches

Orryelle’s new hardback book on and of the magic of language, from Grayle Press (the new publishing imprint of Jack Grayle, author of the reknowned Hekataeon), will be Launched with performances and exhibitions in London UK (May 12th) and Brussels Belgium (May 25th).

Copies are already now available online, from Miskatonic Books in the USA. If in Europe and unable to attend the launch, signed copies of the book can be ordered directly from the author-artist (email odxob@yahoo.com) to avoid import taxes and international mail costs.

The London Launch at Watkins Books on May 12th will feature readings from the book, including performative oration of verse, some sung with violin; plus the usual signings wining and divining.
Signed prints and original drawings by the author-artist will also be available at the launch.

The European Launch of ‘Esezezus’ at Haekem Theatre/Gallery in Brussels expands to include a full musical ensemble to accompany his poetry, song, and violin, plus an exhibition of original drawings and painting from the book…

Esezezus is an exploration of the Magic of Language, particularly in verse – both in the form of an exegesis on the subject; and also by example as it compiles over a decade’s worth of esoteric poetry by the author. This ranges from the cosmic and evocational to the personal, in a diversity of styles and forms.
Extracts of ritual theatre productions in verse are also included, and the work is richly illustrated by the author-artist in multiple media – drawings, oil paintings, and photographs from sculptures and performances.

As the central essay in this book explores especially the vibrational aspects of poetic language – ie when spoken or sung rather than only written – it comes with an album (CD & streaming code) of magical music by the author and collaborators, wherein many of the verses in the book are orated or sung accompanied by a wide range of musical accompaniment from neoclassical to experimental electronica.

Esezezus is a new word referring to the bliss of ‘Tongues’ as both physical vessels of language and languages themselves. As the Word (made flesh) ‘Language’ itself comes from French Langue meaning Tongue (the organ) they are really one, and can only thus be differentiated or split by speaking/act- ing with Forked Tongue (dividing the concept and its means).
