In three movements and two interludes, the poems in \u003cem\u003eMyth\u003c\/em\u003e move symphonically from tropical islands to barren cities, from lucid dreams to the mysteries of reality, from the sea to the cosmos. A dynamic mix of speculative poetry and ecstatic lyricism, the otherworldly and the sublime, Pierre’s poems never stray too long or too far from the spell of unspoiled nature: “The palm trees nod \/ at the ocean \/ the ocean does \/ what it always does \/ trusts the moon completely.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriends ‘with benefits’ tour the wonders of Grenada’s landscapes; extraterrestrials visit the Caribbean and the locals don’t seem phased; red birds “saunter airily like tourists,” La Diablesse lures helpless suitors to their dooms. This collection asks: How can myths manifest themselves in our daily lives? What do we actually mean when we say we love ourselves and others? And how do we pursue\/create futures that honour our truths, histories and legacies?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terese Mason Pierre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284265545979,"sku":"9781487013042","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_77d5c034-56d9-4e03-b760-601058dbfc06.jpg?v=1776363138","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/myth-9781487013042","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
