Overview

In this poetry collection, Jarred Corona uses the blitz form to examine and dissect the words we're always gifted when our hearts are in the midst of breaking. Is it possible to sing while drowning? How do you become the singer, not the lyre? Let us learn again to rest. Repetition is the suit death wears on Wednesdays at the bar Repetition is how you take it to heart Repetition is what traps Orpheus to the same song Repetition is the motif that grounds the audience Repetition is how you forget to compose Repetition is what salves the burn Return to the lyre in search of a new coda Return to the arms of the man who leaves Return to an argument you imagined Return to yourself Cycle through your breathing Cycle back to the same advice Stand beneath the falls of the cascade of platitudes, throw back your weary, shattered head, and drink.
