Author: Srikanth Reddy<br />File Type: pdf<br />Srikanth Reddys second book of poetry probes this worlds cosmological relation to the plurality of all possible worlds. Drawing its name from the spacecraft currently departing our solar system on an embassy to the beyond, Voyager unfolds as three books within a book and culminates in a chilling Dantean allegory of leadership and its failure in the cause of humanity. At the heart of this volume lies the historical figure of Kurt WaldheimSecretary-General of the U.N. from 1972-81 and former intelligence officer in Hitlers Wehrmachtwho once served as a spokesman for humanity while remaining silent about his role in the collective atrocities of our era. Resurrecting this complex figure, Reddys universal voyager explores the garden of forking paths hidden within every totalizing dream of identity.
