description: The Mundiad is a mock epic poem in heroic couplets. Modelled on classical epics such as Virgil s Aeneid, Milton s Paradise Lost and Pope s Rape of the Lock, yet set in modern times, the poem celebrates the detritus of everyday Kylie, pornography, new ageism, genetic engineering, IVF, screen culture and much more besides. Reviving the ancient poetic ambition to speak differently about the things of this world, The Mundiad is startlingly original and very, very weird.
