“The Holy Grail supposedly from which Christ and his Disciples drank at their last supper presents an icon which, within the context of today’s relativistic society, suggested to me that the figures contained herein would contest its iconic significance… Also, The Grail Seeker represents some of the human conflicts that have engaged thinkers for almost 2000 years. For that reason, I saw fit to try to suggest, if not delineate, ideological conflicts in verse form… to encapsulate the complex idea (that) required cogent statement. The Grail Seeker has about it, too, a certain mark of high comedy, such as making the trivial appear serious and austere. 18th century British poet Alexander Pope’s poem ‘Rape of the lock’ comes to mind… I did not fully realize it that when I finished that I had written a parable about a young man who searched for something to believe in, which is the Grail. Instead, however, of drinking from the Grail in imitation of Christ at the Last Supper he is confronted by the metamorphosis of the Holy Grail o Jesus into the Horn of Satan.
