Overview

This collective anthology is a compilation of the poetic writings of Bryce J. Lemon, while writing under the pseudonym: Poet Unknown, during his formative years (2011-2018). It includes The Queen of the Vanities: An Excercise in Demon Yoga (2015), The Sacraments of Lilith (2016) and The Emerald Stare of the Golden Dragon: Funky Phallic Forms of Flow, Foamed and Frothed in Frolicking and Enchanted Play (2018). Belly satiated and mouth dripping with juices, having devoured the Forbidden Fruit as Dionysus at the vine, the Poet turns and offers us his overflowing chalice. Do you dare the magick potion? The Ipsissimus does not distinguish between poison and elixir. Coagula et Solve. Aggressive, playful, scathing, paradoxical and scandalous- these volumes turn our sacred cows on their heads. If nothing is sacred, everything is. The Pied Piper arrives at your door and offers you open invitation- to leave the boundaries of your own Psyche behind, don your cloak and mask, and dance free as a beast under the Night of Pan in the City of Pyramids.With subjects ranging from Mysticism, Magick, Metaphysics, Qaballah, Tarot, Numerology, Zen, Shamanism, Kalachakra Tantra and the Occult Sciences to Sex, Love, Death, Devastation, Drugs, Despair, Victory, Art, and Dreams- written in deliciously subversive, nauseatingly erotic, shockingly disgusting, enchantingly magickal, ethereally beautiful and gut-busting hilarious verse; you'll laugh, cry, convulse with fear, rage with anger, and ultimately be swept away on a magick carpet ride under the spell of ultimate compassion.

Author Information

Bryce J. Lemon was born and raised a Mormon in Provo, UT. He first experienced a taste of higher consciousness when he nearly died of dengue fever as a proselyting missionary in Northeast Thailand. Following this experience, the poet chose self-excommunication and discovered a hidden mystery school in Salt Lake City. This experience opened his eyes to the reality of the astral and spiritual realms. In less than a year, he completed initiation into the highest grade of the school, but in the end left feeling disenchanted with spirituality in general. He immediately moved to Los Angeles, declaring himself a hard core atheist and set out to pursue a career in film. He continued on in these pursuits for a time. About a year later, a guide appeared to him in a dream telling him that within a month he would find himself homeless. Sure enough, a month later, the poet lost his job, his significant other and his home. Seeing this as an opportunity for spiritual exploration, he set out on a magickal adventure across the world- traveling to 28 countries in 10 1/2 months, exploring the sacred temples and sites of the world, living with Natives in Central America, sitting with Zen Masters and seeking entrance into the true and invisible order. He returned to Los Angeles shortly thereafter. During this time he completed two feature films, but also began deep consciousness exploration with extreme psychedelic drug use. This eventually yielded the results of the devastating but beautiful Queen of the Vanities: An Exercise in Demon Yoga, published under the pseudonym Poet Unknown. It was at this point he decided to travel to India and Nepal, which would change his life forever. Arriving at the onset of Durga Puja, the poet was violently attacked near Dakshineswar and barely escaped alive. Taken in for refuge at the temple by the High Priest, the poet made an offering to Kali and washed himself in the Ganges. From there he set out to Bodh Gaya to retrace the steps of Shakyamuni. During his journey, he was robbed at knife point for the second time and was left for dead miles away from his destination. Making friends with some of the locals, he hitched a ride on the back of a small motorbike to Indrasala Cave. There he remained in meditation for seven days, and then departed to the Temple of the Mahabodhi Tree. He arrived at the Temple as a massive thunderstorm hit. The temple cleared out, but the poet remained. The rest is history.
