Instructions for Your New Osiris From Chances Are Few,
By Van G. Garrett (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chances Are Few (Paperback)
Thomas' poem reflects a conversational and honest tone which is notably his hallmark. "Instructions for Your New Osiris" is a great example of skillful writing about a very personal experience. This denouncement of a once loving muse also conjures the ancient Egyptian myth of Osiris; a tale where the protagonist's physical vessel is captured, transformed, erected, and shattered because of his brother Typhon's jealousy. A clever conceit future suitors of the poem's 'Isis' may want to carefully consider. Van G. Garrett's poems have appeared in Rolling Out, Life Imitating Art, Swirl, Drumvoices Review, Curbside Review, Shanks' Mare, Urban Beat, E! Scene and elsewhere. |
