Description
The Arthurian world has long been a source of fascination, and this unique poetry collection offers a fresh perspective on its timeless legends. Through the eyes of nonhuman creatures and everyday objects, Melissa Ridley Elmes explores big themes in small ways, revealing cracks in the traditional narrative and inviting readers to consider their own perceptions. From the humorous to the meditative, these poems fracture the smooth veneer of chivalry, exposing vulnerabilities, cynicism, gentleness, and uncertainty. By examining the inner worlds and unconsidered corners of this ancient myth, Elmes breathes new life into the stories, bringing them into a modern idiom. This collection is a thought-provoking exploration of relationships, mortality, gender issues, violence, and identity, all presented in a unique and original way.
