Carrion - Wes Jamison

Just As Odinrsquo;s Ravens, Named Huginn And Muninn (translated To Thought And Memory), Would Whisper Everything He Couldnrsquo;t See, So Too Do These And Other Mythical Ravensmdash;of Athena, The Biblical Eve And Noah, Coronis, And Othersmdash;function In Jamisonrsquo;s Essay Collection: They Are Tools To Interpret And Make Meaning Of Their World, Rent As It Is Between The Rural And Urban, The Romantic And Abusive, Where Language Is Both Surfeit And Dearth. This Collection Sees Mythical Ravens Murmur Alongside The Actual Bone And Viscera Of Crows, Starlings, And Pigeons In Disarming Explorations Of Desire And Destruction, The Body And Creation. Carrion Is An Ambitiously Structured Collection That Honors The Literary Forebears At Its Center While Lamenting Our Inability To Communicate Anythingmdash;love, Need, Hopemdash;except In Metaphors.
