Mythos Of The Door

Mostly traditional forms of poetry, Mythos of the Door explores the landscape, people, and underlying narrative that exists in Door County, Wisconsin and the Door Peninsula, one of the most beautiful places in the midwest. Lake Michigan on one side, with the bay of Green Bay on the other, with Washington and Rock Island out in the lake and the by of Sturgeon Bay in the middle, the history of the peninsula includes a plethora of significant events that reflect on the history of today's United States of America. Sonnets and a variety of verse forms are interspersed with longer poems that explore the American Indian heritage of the peninsula, Christmas, and events that happened over time or didn't happen, but explores some aspect of the Door's mythos. A mythos is a myth or mythology, a traditional theme or plot structure, or a set of beliefs. Great poetry, whether it is written in free verse or traditional forms, contains an exploration into place, self, time, relations, and the times in which poets live. The title first appeared one morning after a sleepless night. A door can lead almost anywhere in place, time, or the imagination. This significant collection of poetry by Thomas Davis, the author of a dozen books, explores the Mythos of the Door.
