About this ebook
In The Lost Fragments of Heraclitus, award-winning poet Neil Carpathios channels the great Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, who may be a distant relative of the author. In doing so, Carpathios shares his own highly original aphorisms, which he claims may have been cowritten by the disembodied spirit of his “Uncle Heraclitus.” With this Borgesian premise as the backdrop, the result is an outpouring of philosophy, spirituality, humor, and poetry in the form of hybrid literary fragments by turns magically real, metaphorical, and soul-searching. This quirky, inventive collection is sure to provoke thought, entertain, and even move the reader to a deeper appreciation of what it means to be human.
