Odd Phenomenon In An Abandoned City

Poems by Philomene In this collection of poetry, Philomene expands the vision of her book The Dream Awakening. Once again the theme is that of the struggle of the muse to survive in our contemporary wilderness. But whereas the music of the preceeding volume was that of incantation, the tone of this work, Odd Phenomenon in an Abandoned City, is one of lamentation, of cries amongst the ruins. Inspired by a series of paintings by R.L. Penney depicting the ruins of a mythic civilization, these poems echo the agony of a forgotten muse crying in the desert of collective memory. Like hieroglyphics from a distant past - these images arch into an unknown future. They reflect and interact with the tones of the paintings to create a synthesis of painter and poet.
