"Don't be to me a memory. Despite death's sullen, cold decree. This mortal life I give to thee. My soul is yours eternally." "Mythics" centers on our most vulnerable emotion-love. Through beautiful and elegant verse, we move from the longing for love to mature and deep reverence. Delving ever deeper into our capacity to love, the poems allow us to see not only what we're made of and hold inside, but also what we have to give, and its impact on our lives. With a profound belief in the human spirit, Masek shows us with integrity and candor: To truly live ... is to love.
