Description
...And Egypt Is the River is a collection of mystical prose-poems that explore the origins of language and the evolution of cosmology. The author draws on linguistic theories to examine how our immediate sensory experience shapes our understanding of the world.
The poems delve into the relationship between sound, object, and self-awareness, revealing the primal utterances that underlie human culture. By tracing the impact of these early words, the poet seeks to uncover the shared mythologies that have developed over time.
