A Byzantine Cycle - by David Bentley Hart
I am still quite constrained by the radiculopathy in my neck and back (chief impingement at C6 and C7, for those of you who have a keen fascination with cervical vertebrae or who collect vertebra trading-cards), as well as by the unhappy circumstance of living in a deep-red state that has systematically degraded its own healthcare infrastructure to a nearly palaeolithic level of development, and so I have to beg your pardon for relying on some previously published material below. I thought I might take advantage of a question that a reader named Renee sent me some time ago for one of my “Q & A” columns: “Did you write the poems in The Devil and Pierre Gernet and then write a story around them, or did you write the story and then compose the poems for it? I’m curious because you publish a lot a poetry but you only seem to do so by attributing it to one of your fictional characters.”
