Destruction Myth

Author: Mathias Svalina 

Publisher: Cleveland State University Poetry Center (2009)

Expanding the palette of contemporary surrealism while harkening back to the stories and prayers at the origin of poetry, Destruction Myth is a series of absurdist myths of creation and destruction that are at times both inventively silly and surprisingly emotionally direct. This book attempts the world again and again, only to find that even the most ridiculous of creations contains the seeds of its own destruction.
