Exploring the intersection of psychedelia and artistic expression, this book delves into altered states of consciousness, including mystical and schizophrenic experiences, through a historical lens. It traces the influence of psychedelia from the Romantics to the Rave Generation, analyzing works in literature, music, and film by notable figures like Blake, Burroughs, Coltrane, and Hendrix. The discussion encompasses a wide sociocultural context, offering a pioneering perspective on the impact of psychedelic experiences across various art forms, unlike previous works focused solely on painting.
