"Mormon Heroin" is an epic book of poetry 400+ pages that charts the map of one year in a man's life as it details the dissolution of his marriage, sexual identities; values assigned and unassigned through language and culture; and recovery from drug addiction; all seen through the prism of binary opposites, as well as esoteric and hermetic codes that deconstruct the role of the poet in American culture as he makes an odyssey through memory creating a thematic and musical narrative using the conceptual rock album as the book's template.
