The Odontiad & Other Poems - Paperback

From the author of the best-selling Complete Illustrated Grand Grimoire comes an award-winning poetry collection exploring decay, memory, and reality through a Gnostic lens.

Now available as an audiobook narrated by Miguel Conner, host of the acclaimed Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio podcast.
The Odontiad transforms something mundane-tooth decay-into a profound meditation on collapse, loss, and what remains when things fall apart. Across 32 interconnected sonnets, written during the pandemic's "shut-in times," a simple physical sensation becomes a portal into questions about memory, identity, and existence itself.

What begins as personal discomfort expands into universal Gnostic themes: impermanence, the material versus the spiritual, and whether awareness of decay can become a form of gnosis.

Why This Collection Stands Out:

Award-Winning Poetry: Sonnet IV was selected for the Virginia Bards Poetry Anthology 2020.
Audiobook Excellence: Miguel Conner's narration brings deep understanding of Gnostic themes to each poem. His voice, beloved by Aeon Byte listeners, adds layers of meaning to the collection.
Accessible Gnostic Philosophy: These poems offer esoteric insights wrapped in beautiful language, not dense theological prose. Themes of hidden knowledge, spiritual liberation, and the nature of reality run throughout.
Pandemic-Era Reflection: Captures the strange temporality of isolation while reaching toward timeless truths.

Sample Lines - Sonnet IV (Selected for the Virginia Bards Anthology):

"Nothing ever came from nothing, nothing couldYet when I feel the serrated gaps, I wish it would."

Perfect For:

Fans of Miguel Conner and Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio - Readers interested in Gnostic spirituality and Hermeticism - Poetry lovers seeking philosophical depth - Anyone seeking art that captures pandemic isolation - Admirers of contemplative poetry that engages with ancient wisdom traditions
Cover Art: Stunning artwork by Deepti Lamba visually captures the themes of decay and transformation
