I think this book is a great and optimistic modern experiment with some of the beatitude concepts Rob touches on in his book Beat Attitudes. The novel seems to play with the idea of influx and efflux, a spiritual breath that brings the soul and mind together to beatific states when realizing the interconnectedness of all of existence; this cultivation of awareness and mental and spiritual bliss is then exhaled in a form of poesis. The efflux is seen by the end in the form of an army of lovers.
