Part One: Heusos, the first part of Testament, an epic poem written by Keith Senkowski, is a special piece. It's not a book, as we tend to experience them in 2024. It's origins are different. The original was hand painted, illustrated, and crafted as much as a physical object as a work of literature. Kask's story welcomes us into the destruction and making of worlds, poetically challenging everything - even the pronunciation of words we've known since grade school. Like reading Beowulf or even Shakespeare for the first time, you can't speed through it. The tongue feels foreign at first, but eventually, the rhythm of the words feels natural, the story dances before you, and you find yourself lost in, as Kask says "the horror and hope" of it all. If you're reading this review, I encourage you to give yourself over to the adventure of this piece. Uncover it as though it were an artifact from a future past that you've stumbled upon. Decode it and uncover it's beauty. I am really excited to read all 5 parts.
