The Death of the Goddess, A Poem in Twelve Cantos

THE DEATH OF THE GODDESS is an epic, powerful narrative poem that poignantly explores themes of love, personal loss, and grief. Drawing inspiration from Buddhism, Indian philosophy, and Patrick Colm Hogan's interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita, the story revolves around two lovers who challenge unjust social structures, ultimately facing separation and death as a consequence of their defiance. In this innovative work, Hogan aims to blend ancient Indian philosophy and mythology, capturing the essence of beauty and emotional depth (referred to as "rasa" in Sanskrit) that defines the poem. THE DEATH OF THE GODDESS is a remarkable literary accomplishment that should be appreciated by dedicated poetry enthusiasts and students of mythology or epic literature.
