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 \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terese Mason Pierre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487013043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487013042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e House of Anansi Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Terese Mason Pierre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640770154751,"sku":"9781487013042","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9dcb293-9873-42f9-8c51-86dd62963b4a.jpg?v=1740670472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myth-terese-mason-pierre-9781487013042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
