Carol of Charon is the seventh canto of Kit Ludlow's art-poetry epic, Orpheus. The poem follows City of Time, Lotus of the Outis, Bedouin of Bedlam, Sheol, We of Dionysus and Carol for Charon. Years have passed since Orpheus journeyed into Hades to retrieve his wife. That adventure failed due to his cursed look back. After Bedlam, the famed poet wandered into Sheol, a forgotten underworld. He had no narrative; only lyrical verse to make sense of the world. In the fifth canto, Orpheus awakens from his daze to begin the reclamation of his wife, poetry. Orpheus, in the sixth canto, realizes he must sacrifice himself to Dionysus. In the seventh, Dance for Danace, Orpheus discovers that he is no one. As no one, he calls for Charon to ferry him across the Styx and to the gates of Hades.

Every line of the poem is illustrated by the poet's own artwork. All artwork is original to the canto. It is conscious-made through many techniques and artistic modes (not AI generated).
