Inside Scoop Live and Reader views present Paul Kiritsis as he talks about his new book Hermetica: Myths, Legends, Poems. The newly published Hermetica (September, 2007) is a literary collection which comprises both epic and dramatic verse. This tome is divided into two distinct sections: poetry and prose. The poetry component showcases new work heavily influenced by Platonic and Pythagorean philosophy, otherwise known as Neoplatonic thought. The prose section contains seven stories, five of which explore and extend Egyptian mythology. The other two carry an alchemical flavour and delve into esoteric thought.
