Tongue Lyre
No Customer Reviews
In "Tongue Lyre," Tyler Mills weaves together fragments of myth and memory, summoning the works of Ovid, Homer, and James Joyce to spin a story of violence and the female body. Introducing the recurring lyre figure in the collection a voice to counter the violence is Ovid s Philomena, who, while cruelly rendered speechless, nonetheless sets the reader on an eloquent voyage to discover the body throughmusic, art, and language. Other legendary figures making appearances within Telemachos, Nestor, Cyclops, Circe, and others are held up as mirrors to reflect the human form as home. In this dynamic collection, the female body and its relationship to the psyche traverse mythic yet hauntingly familiar contemporary settings as each presents not a single narrative but a progressive exploration of our universal emotional experience.
