Milenko Zupanovic's work can be a lot to take in with an unflinching view of the world derived from esoteric mystical texts of both an Old Testament tone yet a New Testament blessing of peace offered after all the flames have been burned out and the blood washed away. Dillinger and I have the had the honor of publishing two of his previous works; IMMORTAL DREAMS and PSALM OF LAST DAYS which has had some people questioning of why we were publishing this type of work in the first place...doesn't it stand for everything DFP against? When we started this press, it was give voices to those seldom heard...this isn't necessarily dogma or a theological treatise as it is a journey throughout an ancient world reconciling itself with a world on fire descending somewhere we can never be sure where... The volume you hold in your hands offers a perspective with a bit of history, theology, and philosophy. You'll find poetry and prose from both the two previous volumes with new material completing a trilogy that takes us out of the world of dreams through the last days into visions of what may come to be in order to find a salvation of sorts. While reading this won't result in immortality it may plant new seeds of contemplation to grapple with a herculean set of revelations about to crash down upon our ever-fluctuating mortal realm teetering between rigid order of a satiric nature or wild insanity.

Excerpt from A Vision of Immortality Played winds and thunders, rivulets and rain, Melodious echoes which this Earth hath known The song of birds, the ocean's deep refrain, Cavernous sighs, plaints, murmurs, laughter, grown To full expression of sonorous song, Changed from our finite utterance and blent With mightier tones, whose Dorian accents throng Out to Infinity e'er they be spent.
