Here’s a good book of poems to check out:
“Friday and the Year that Followed” by Juan Morales
It’s not strictly mythical, but does have some mythic elements. My favorites are the poems tracing Juan’s family stories – like his mother’s family’s experience of living through the 1949 earthquake in Ecuador and his father’s war stories.
Get more info and order from Bedbug Press.
