An epic poem written in blank verse and inspired (in part) by Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton, and The Bible, Lost in an Idyll tells the story of Paul, a surfer and entomologist, who travels to beautiful Amazonas, Colombia, in search of undiscovered insect species. There, he becomes lost in the vast and unforgiving forest, fights in a surreal war, learns a life-changing lesson, and encounters diverse and striking flora and fauna along the way.
