John Leys

Whispers of a One-Eyed Raven (eBook, ePUB)

Mythological Poetry

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Myths are stories without authors, composed before we wrote things down, when everything was recorded on the poet's tongue and in the bard's breath. They stem from a time when the border between dream and reality was barely drawn, when the wall between this world and the other was but a thin membrane, at best. Myths were our first attempts to make sense of the world around us, using inspiration and imagination, before the philosophers invented epistemology and the scientific method. They are stories that hold truths that linger in the darkened hallways and under the hollow hills, that enchant the imagination and stir the poet's heart.

Whispers of a One-Eyed Raven is a collection of such stirrings. Join John W. Leys on journey in verse through the myths and legends of the Norse and Celts to a time that never existed and will never end.

He has a BA in Religious Studies from the University of South Florida and studied for his MA in Judaic Studies at the Graduate School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has had poetry published in Omnibus, Byronmania, Nicholas Gagnier's All the Lonely People, and Avalanches in Poetry: Poetry, Stories, and Art Inspired by Leonard Cohen (Edited by David L. O'Nan), and As the World Burns: Writers and Artists Reflect on a World Gone Mad (edited by Kindra M. Austin, Candice Louisa Daquin, Rachel Finch, and Christine E. Ray). He has also contributed to a variety of poetry-blogs, including Blood Into Ink, GoDogGo Café, and Free Verse Revolution.

When not writing poetry John is usually playing one of his many ukuleles or reading ancient Hellenistic philosophy for fun.
