The Song of Worlds (Dzadefve Oa Charls'm)

A dramatic narrative in 197 stanzas, The Song of Worlds (Dzadefve oa Charls'm) celebrates the Dvarsh people from their origin in the world we shared to their exile in an alternate reality. Presented in the Dvarsh invented language without English translation, the poem serves up the latest cultural artifact from the Habdvarsha universe of Robert Stikmanz. Even if one cannot read the characters in which it is written, the book is a work of graphic beauty, a mystery and an expansive conceptual experiment. It sings in a tongue no one speaks from a past that may have been.
