Hermesian Epidemics: Depression, Anxiety, Derealisation, Narcissism , (Article) - 1/2/2012 6:17:37 AM
Well written and interesting Ian (particularly as it follows a recent read of Jung's WOTAN...). The article illuminates understanding of present day 'archetypes' or 'gods' - how beings become their 'puppets'... enslaved to desire, losing happiness and freedom. What is the solution to this phenomena of "Ergriffenheit" - a state of being possessed?

Neo-Liberalism and Oppression (Article) - 7/29/2010 12:29:11 AM
Indeed, capitalist America, the land of oppression. Makes ya wonder why so many people come here out of desperation to get oppressed. Then again, that explains why so many Americans fled to the Old Soviet Union for some of that real “social justice.” Alas… North Korea, Cuba now that’s where you can enjoy the wonderful fruits of socialism. Indeed, universal poverty for all (except the ones running the show) ….now that’s real governmment social justice.

New Songs by INTERSTITIUM - various song samples (Poetry) - 3/17/2013 7:59:22 AM
I really like your Gothic balladeer sound. Unfortunately, my hearing isn't too good, and I did not get all of the words. A display of the lyrics while the song is being played would help me with that. Enjoyed.

See How Still She Sleeps (song) - Ian Irvine (Hobson) (Poetry) - 2/16/2013 11:38:16 AM
I really liked both the words and the melody. It does have a rather dark, dirge like sound that probably puts it into the alternative category, but I like that tonality about it.
I hope others get to listen to it and comment as well.

The Gift of Pace (song) (Poetry) - 1/26/2013 1:24:21 PM
I'm not a fan of Cricket (or most team sports, for that matter), however I really like your song, especially the melody. I hope that others here will take the time to go to the links and review your work.

Vera Imaginatio (Poem by Ian Irvine [Hobson]) (Poetry) - 1/19/2013 1:33:33 PM
I lost many readers a few years ago when I required them to click on a link to my website in order to read my poems. Perhaps you should post the text of the poem here and then ask the reader to click on the link if they want to hear you read it.
I clicked on the link and was pleasantly surprised to see how you turned a sighting of a rare and wonderful creature into a transcendental flight of fantasy reminiscence akin to dragons. Delightful and original. Kudos.

Where Have You Buried the Poets? (Poetry) - 5/4/2012 7:20:05 AM
Now that is truly sad, with such beauty and expression in poetry and that it be struck from our new youth? Are all the great minds to be buried as you said? I do not know one soul who does not or has not been inspired by their beauty in words. Has telly taken over? Do they not want young minds to expand? Do they not want to teach self-expression? What will become of imagination?
Love and Light,
Lily

Good question, Ian. But fortunately, for some of us, the
poets live on in their dusty words. This I like. -gene.

The Pale Moon Left us Here - a poem by Ian Irvine (Hobson) (Poetry) - 9/7/2010 7:43:24 AM
Descriptions that stir emotions, reminding the reader of paintings, art, history and inner landscapes. I'm impressed with the coherence and the way language, sounds and impressions accompany the reader to the inevitable end(ing).

Four Poems on Desacralisation and Disenchantment (Poetry) - 8/31/2010 7:59:48 AM
These are truly amazing. I often lament about the progress mankind is taking, the transhumanist assault on the soul as the science and technology we have come to adore and depend upon are actually the building blocks of our own spiritual prison. It is difficult to watch the world drown under the heavy hand of the power-elite superclass and high-tech repression grid where full-spectrum dominance of corporations and military translates into every aspect of your life, first introduced as convenience or necessity, slowly becoming weaponized. You want to scream; but realize that we're under water too. Beautiful work.
Europe After the Rain - Ian Irvine (Poetry) - 8/30/2010 8:31:02 AM
An old world, not quite dead, but almost... Where has the soul gone?
Intriguing traces of Life and History.
