Lost Gardens of the Hakudo Maru

Lost Gardens of the Hakudo Maru is a veritable journey through the netherworld of existential consciousness, laced in equal measure with hard-hitting reality. Primarily speculative in nature (though hard to pin down definitively), the poems focus on issues of quantum theory; alien contact (and the impossibility of truly understanding something non-human); technophobia/technophilia; Japanese literature, culture & myth (specifically the myth of Hakudo Maru); mathematics; literary Modernism and the avant garde and whatever else Ando's talented pen could think up.
