Summary:
She rose, a soot-blackened woman, from the fine layers of silted taupe ash, with scorched feet, able to see in all directions. Tidal Fury intermeshes styles in narratorial strands. A love story - he was "a literary device, and then I discovered we knew each other intimately." An aged narcissist who wields power and invokes a subtext on the social politics of power. A poet whose muse is Medusa. Tidal Fury is a poetry on the edge of the text of an interior ocean of fury and passion. The collection includes artwork from the poet. Book jacket.
