Pavel Chichikov

From Here to Babylon: Poems by Pavel Chichikov

The whole world is on the move, from what has been to what is yet to be. Everyone who is alive now must travel on that road. There are no exits until the journey ends.

From Here to Babylon takes the reader on that journey. Along the way we meet angels and devils, saints and con men, the devout and the devious. There is suffering but also hope, outrage but also beauty, mystery beyond our power to explain.

These eighty-seven poems are a travel guide to destinations we might never expect. Not turning away from hard truths about our human experience and our common destiny, they show the world we can see, and worlds beyond ordinary perception.

REVIEWS

Pavel Chichikov writes poetry that is crystalline in its perfect structure and beauty; each one unique and perfectly formed with the power to evoke images and thoughts of beauty of a world that most of us can only touch in our dreams. -- Nova, author, American Apocalypse Series

Pavel Chichikov is as prolific as he is profound, irrepressible and iridescent. His verse shines forth with metaphorical brilliance, like a rainbow that bridges the chasm between the natural and supernatural. -- Joseph Pearce, author, professor of literature, and editor of the Saint Austin Review

A spectacular book . . . this is a poetry different from any now being written. -- Richard Greene, editor, Graham Green: A Life in Letters
