Marilyn Singer has turned her talented eye to
mythology. Using her amazing reverse
poetry, Singer shows two sides of several myths – most familiar, some lesser
known. Doesn’t matter – I am still
dumbfounded by her eye and ear and ability to find and define both stories
using the same words, just in reverse order and some punctuation changes. I know people usually avoid poetry like the
plague, but this is one you should not miss.
