The Julianic Manifests of Jupiter: Volume Five, Cleopatra's Kingdom of Idolatry

The Emperor Julian, upon his accession to the throne in 361, restored the classical ideals of Homeric religion, observing them as the official affirmation of the Roman Empire. This absolute observation of idolatry and its congruous ideals is the prime theme of THE JULIANIC MANIFEST, volume five of Cleopatra’s Kingdom of Idolatry. All the 274 sonnets of this volume are Julianic declarations of Homeric life. “You've blended very well the traditions of Shakespeare, Homer, and the English language sonnet, without erring on the side of pretense. The language is high, direct, and modern. I'm thrilled with these.” Zachary Bos, editor of Sixty Six: a journal of sonnet studies.
