This is a series of related poems about Lucifer's attempt to overthrow God, of his defaet and fall, and of his journeying through the ages before a kind of reconcilliation is possible. Lucifer is the spirit of Man the scientist and mechanic, and so is responsible for progress, as well as the pursuit of war and self destruction. This is a major work, and Alan Sillitoe's fifth book of poetry.
