Confessions of the Gods, 'The Herodeia Decalogue' is the 7th volume
of an encyclopedia of the New Literature, as a genre presenting an
anagogic form of mythological poetry, such as sacred scripture, "or
its analogues in other modes" as the literary critic Dr. Northrop
Frye once described it in his classic study 'Anatomy of Criticism'.
"Confession is Autobiography regarded as a form of prose fiction,
or prose fiction cast in the form of autobiography." The Herodeia
Decalogue is the overall title of 10 literary works by David Seals,
written over many years (since he was a college student in Colorado
in the 1960s), and this volume combines excerpts of two of the ten,
in #6 - 'Abduction at Roswell' - beginning with its chapter three,
and then cutting back and forth to the epic poetry from Book # 7 -
'Geodesy: The Creation Myth of the Colorado Plateau' - in heroic
blank verse, and then alternately to the contemporary prose
narrative of the factual UFO reminiscences of his U.S. Air Force
family over the decades beginning in 1947 in Roswell New Mexico,
and then in Japan, Libya, and his mother's hometown of Flagstaff,
Arizona (where Seals lives with his family). This collection
introduces "the High Mimetic mode" of gods and human characters who
are often above our own level of power and authority, though within
the order of nature and subject to social criticism. The Ten
subjects of the Decalogue are: #1) 'Hymn to My Mother' with
synopsis and review at http:
//www.witchvox.com/books/dt_bk.html?a=usaz&id=2175] A good
review of it is also posted at www.scribd.com/davidseals; but the
book was written years ago about his mother Mary. K. O'Brien Seals.
