Live at Lethe

Brimming with darkness and forgetting, Live at Lethe is an epic collection composed of short lyric reflections, steeped in the waters of oblivion. This tapestry of loss is woven with the dark silk of Southern ecological destruction and the passing of the poet's grandfather--post-Fugitive Agrarian novelist Madison Jones--whose work reflected a fear that the South had lost its "redemptive memory." The elegiac songs of Live at Lethe reach wildly for meaning in a world increasingly filled with disappearance and shadow.
