Introducing the eighth poetry collection from R. Clift- The Chronicles of a Mortal in Arcadia blends truth with fiction in a compelling verse memoir.

Crafted during her residency at the renowned Château d'Orquevaux in France, this collection chronicles the journey of an unnamed narrator as she navigates stark introspection, embraces acceptance, and immerses herself in a fantastical realm. Set against the backdrop of Arcadia, the mythical paradise of Greek lore, the diary-like story unfolds with a diverse cast of forgotten gods- each inspired by an artist at the residency.

Characters like Morpheus, Calliope, Nyx, Atlas, Dionysus, Hecate, and other legendary figures play pivotal roles- each contributing to the narrator's personal arc. The Chronicles of a Mortal in Arcadia beckons to artists, poets, and lovers of Greek mythology alike.

Enhanced by exquisite illustrations and moments of profound human connection, this book invites readers to immerse themselves in its pages- a journey where they may find not only escapism but also self-discovery. .
