A mythic, lyrical journey through addiction, disillusionment, and the remaking of the self.
Myths and Rhymes grew from notes written during drug rehabilitation in the summer of 1990. These poems move through addiction, spiritual collapse, and the struggle to construct a new understanding of life.
Ancient myth, religious memory, science and art merge in a private mythology shaped by rhythm, image, and emotional intensity. Orpheus, Persephone, and Charon appear alongside figures from the Bible as visions of evolution and the cosmos collide.
For readers drawn to experimental poetry and language that works through sound as much as meaning, Myths and Rhymes offers a record of descent, reckoning, and renewal.
