Still, the Sky
Still, the Sky | Tom Pearson
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Still, the Sky is a speculative mythology rendered through poetry and art that combines the tales of Icarus and the Minotaur and creates for them a shared coming-of-age through a correspondence of written fragments, artifacts, ecofacts, and ephemera. Fragmented memories, relics, and confessions combine in a labyrinth of fever dreams and meditations which contemplate innocence and experience, war and peace, exile and homecoming, flight and failure, love and loss.

Mehso-so

Poetry is always a tricky genre to review because it is so subjective and can be interpreted in many ways. This was a beautifully written poetry collection, however, I didn‘t “get” it. The poems flowed very well, but I had a hard time grasping the meanings.

Part of the disconnect was due to the fact that I was not familiar with the mythology the poems explored.
