The earliest evidence of stable continents and oceans and records thought to implicate primitive life seems to point to the late Hadean (the Dark Ages)--early Precambrian era, about 4 billion years ago. His collection of poetry, Hadean Eclogues (Consortium), and his book, Shakespeare's Twenty-First-Century Economics: The Morality of Love and Money (Oxford University Press), both appeared this year. His sculptures are like hadean ghosts, mnemonic traces of a world of art that no longer exists. |
