Melding historical and literary references with poignant personal experiences, Cole Lu's work tells stories of dissonance and longing through spiraling odysseys anchored by obscure characters of ancient mythology, a motley assemblage of demigods, daemons, and spirits. First Pylon is a compendium of Lu's vellum drawings which are the precursors to his pieces made of burnt wood panels and linen, accompanied by a corresponding collection of his poetry and writing. With his burned work, Lu returns to the origin of storytelling by writing with fire. In First Pylon, Lu traces what came before the fire and envisions a new mythos born from beyond the flame.

A collection of essays from a revered member of the British Labour Party. What distinguished Cole was his distance from traditional marxist and bureaucratic labour approaches. Neither a Communist nor a Social Democrat (nowadays referred to as a Democratic Socialist a la Bernie Sanders) Cole desired a socialism that centered freedom for workers--an end to capitalist exploitation, workers' management of production, and an expanding democracy in all realms of social life.
