Reflexive Conversations

About the Book

A direct challenge to Milton’s vision in Paradise Lost, John Everett Button’s Reflexive Conversations offers literature its first truly romantic depiction of Satan in this bold contemporary epic poem. Utterly unique in its intimacy, Button has produced a brave new vision of the Devil’s fall from grace and his resulting odyssey to hell. Transcending the bounds of traditional tragedy, Reflexive Conversations rises to become a work of sculpture that is a living representative of the substantive spheres of life, lifting the reader with the voice of raw human emotion, eternally bonding them to this unforgettable masterpiece.
