Christos: Lovesong of the Son of Man

by Gavin Bantock

GAVIN BANTOCK’s prize-winning epic poem newly revised from beginning to end fifty years after it was first written.

The archetypal portrait of a man fighting for self-perfection.

A strikingly unorthodox poetic account of the life of Jesus the Son of Man, of his soul-searching encounters with two co-protagonists – Johanan and Madelena, and of his harrowing struggle to make coherent, and to find expression for, the inspirational turmoil of his inner mind.

Winner of the Richard Hillary Award, 1964
