His Infinite Epiphanies is an experimental poetic visual project created by Cody Draco. First came the digital line sketches, drawn automatically by the inner child who still resides in his subconscious and desperately wants to be seen. Then came the poems, strange yet insightful little creatures that have been persecuted by traditional publishers, who are only in the market for what is marketable, not remarkable. What may have been born out of boredom during a three-day creative bender while his boyfriend was at work has become an incredibly rare glimpse behind the curtains of one of the most exciting emerging voices of 21st-century literature.
While this book feels more like a side quest, especially when positioned within the context of the main Coding a New Masculinity trilogy (Spirit of the Cowboy, The Notorious Nothing, Sub Bottom for Sincerity), there is a certain rogue charm here that is sure to make this the secret cult classic of his career. Equal parts inspired by outsider music icon Daniel Johnston, the bizarre and brilliant psychological avant-garde creative practices of Marina Abramovic, and the multi-disciplinary approach of surrealist master Salvador Dali. This seriously unserious foray is as much about power as it is about play.
