Before you is a unique collection of poems written during the second decade of our new century... during a time of conflict and upheaval... a time of hope and of fear and uncertainty. Included in the body of this work are the words Ivan Kireevskii has carved, chiseled and sculptured in the first five volumes of his Sculptum Est Prosa series. Ivan Kireevskii is a poet exploring views on the synthesis at the edge of inquiry into the world. His is the study of the simple and the complex.
