RICHARD Levy, better known as Ostara / Strength Through Joy vocalist, Richard Leviathan, has been composing lyrics for several decades and impressive album releases such as The Force of Truth and Lies (1995), Salute to Light (1996), Secret Homeland (2000), Kingdom Gone (2002), Ultima Thule (2003), The Only Solace (2009) and Paradise Down South (2014) have secured a well-earned place in the hearts of many who follow and appreciate the Neofolk genre. Never one to rest on his laurels, however, Richard has now assembled a magnificent collection of lyrical stanzas in which he discusses the fate and fortune, the oeuvres and outpourings, and the ideas and idiosyncracies of figures such as Antonin Artaud, Carl Gustav Jung, Georges Bataille, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, "Leni" Riefenstahl, Julius Evola, Oswald Spengler, Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Ernst Jünger, Jean Genet, Ezra Pound, Yukio Mishima, Marquiz de Sade, Edgar Allan Poe, John Keats and Adolf Hitler. As readers of this excellent volume will attest, each ode has been crafted with remarkable skill and intelligence and together they represent a breathtaking example of the literary artform itself. Within this crumbling and degenerative age of Kali Yuga, therefore, Richard Levy has become the poet laureate of a forgotten Europe.
