The Sacred Hypertext: An epic poem

By Chris Middleton

Epic poem The Sacred Hypertext is a Cubist portrait of a lost traveller, Walker, whose pilgrimage into himself and across a nocturnal landscape intersects with the journeys of thousands of other people - including figures from history, myth, legend, and belief.

But equally, this mysterious, fragmented text is a love letter to an unnamed person, a series of confessions, and a waking dream - written in what the author calls 'the night language' (its working title).

So, it is a thousand tales told from one perspective, or a single story told from a thousand viewpoints at once. As TS Eliot once observed, poetry communicates before it is understood, and in some ways The Sacred Hypertext is The Wasteland for the 21stCentury.

- Chris Middleton is the author of poetic childhood memoir An Insignificant Boy - New Author's Edition, also available from Hyper Press via Kindle Direct Publishing, and a successful journalist and musician.
