The Four Horsemen by John Kosch published on 2022-08-19T16:31:14Z The Four Horsemen combines scripture with twentieth-century poetry reflecting on the themes of conquest, war, famine, and death. Although the texts are from ages past, they are still relevant today—in a sense, this piece is both a social commentary on the state of current political affairs and also a reflection on the common pitfalls of humanity throughout history. That being said, the final movement is intended to provide hope for progress, whether it is achieved through the assistance of a spiritual savior or the resilience that individuals have consistently demonstrated in times of adversity.
