Oldest Mortal Myth - Joanna Pearson

The Precise Gaze And Chiseled Language Of The Poems In Oldest Mortal Myth Authoritatively Convey A Broad And Deep Knowledge. Whether A Reimagining A Greek Myth In Order To Infuse It With A Contemporary Pain, Extending Empathy And Humorous Mitmenschkeit To Both Denizens And Voyeurs Of The World's Freakshows, Or Describing With Wit And Experience The Spiritual Affects Of Medical Conditions, The Book Is Infused With Restrained But Piercing Emotion, A Subtle Metrical Ear, And Enough Daring And Wit To Write In Rhymed Couplets To Take The Obvious, Easy Way. For Instance, With The Last Line Of De Wallen, Amsterdam: The Moon Above The Spires, A Sexless Disk,eyes Us Coolly As An Odalisque.
