| Summary |
In Tongue Lyre, Tyler Mills weaves together fragments of myth and memory, summoning the works of Ovid, Homer, and James Joyce to spin a story of violence and the female body. Introducing the recurring lyre figure in the collection-a voice to counter the violence-is Ovid's Philomena, who, while cruelly rendered speechless, nonetheless sets the reader on an eloquent voyage to discover the body through music, art, and language. Other legendary figures making appearances within-Telemachos, Nestor, Cyclops, Circe, and others-are held up as mirrors to reflect the human. |
