Esodus: Internal Reflections and Conversations with the Sun is a personal anthology that speaks to the heart of contemporary African ontological philosophy.
Inspired by classical African meta-physics, Asar Imhotep (aka The Black Lotus) has compiled a compelling collection of essays and poetry that reflects his insights and perspectives on various issues, including the relevance of Satan, the error in obtaining freedom, the conceptual conductivity of the human body, the importance of emotions during a rite of passage, and the self-destructive nature of allowing your enemy to become your deity.
Asar introduces to us a poetic discourse that is deeply rooted in an ethnopoetics whose tradition has heavily influenced the art of our time, such as Hip Hop. The themes range widely from the metaphysical (I am that I am), to the bliss of love (Let me love you), to the power of self-affirmation (I’m so Black), to the pure indulgence in classic word wizardry (Still not convinced). Esodus: Internal Reflections and Conversations with the Sun is sure to inspire you to think big, think often, think critically, and expand the boundaries of your imagination

Heeeeey, Lotus! I just wanted to holla at you for a minute 'cause I ain't been on your page in a while. I sure miss seeing and hearing you. Plus, I just wanna say, I will not sell my gift out to Babylon! I'm thinking about a poem you wrote in your book talking about that.
