Celebrating twenty years since the publication of his first poems in literary journals, The Gospel of the Fallen brings together 27 of Luke Icarus Simon's previously published poems from his two poetry collections, Latin and The Transit of Cancer, alongside 26 poems, appearing here for the first time. Simon's signature style encompasses the personal odyssey of self-discovery, identity and the pursuit of love and marries it with the universal search for existential meaning through reflecting on family, relationships, life experiences, and the lifelong journey all of us must undertake, towards inner peace.
