Twisted Myths

Full of rebellion, desire and viciousness, Jessica Halsey's Twisted Myths guides readers through the residue of stories when they smash against reality. Jessica Halsey draws inspiration from Southern folklore, Greek Mythology, Mesopotamian Mythology, and The Bible to present poems that break and reshape the boundaries of time and genius loci, the spirit of the place. From the fall of Icarus to the loneliness of an abandoned doll, these poems represent how every hero and trial is a reflection of our lives today.
