THE CIRCLE
A Guidebook to Peace, Happiness and Truth Through Personal Geometry
Inspired by Shakespeare’s final play The Tempest and William Butler Yeats’ prophetic and terrifying poem The Second Coming, The Circle tells the story of a group of idealists who attempt to turn their back on the pain and suffering of the world only to discover that sometimes, the harder you try to keep something out, the more you end up letting it in.
