Sisyphus's Joy

Résumé du livre

"Sisyphus's Joy" presents a collection of free-verse poems created to elucidate the conscious and unconscious processes associated with the loss of love. The poetry mirrors the mythical character of Sisyphus and his attempt to cope with an inescapable fate while struggling to derive some meaning from his experience. The collection is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a specific part of Sisyphus's eternal struggle: the ascent, descent, and joy. Optimism becomes the intended mindset, even when in the throes of dismal circumstances.
