Full of sincerity and surprise, these poems help us see, \"We are each a wholly trinity.\" Twaronite's formal dexterity delights with multiple meanings and swerves. Here is a world where gallivanting, thankfully, is not dead. What a gift  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTC Tolbert, Tucson Poet Laureate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat the Gargoyle Sees\u003c\/i\u003e pairs creative settings with a realist's eye-the book is full of moving poems that put Twaronite's contemporary sensibility in settings rooted in myth, history, and invention. From the interstellar to the metaphysical, the poems take their occasions imaginatively-but rarely remain in the imagination alone. Instead, Twaronite melds the fabular with the particulars of lived experience. What the gargoyle truly sees, in the end, is the world we've made. It is what I like most about these poems: the way they start in the ether but find meaning in the heart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTyler J.

As the yellow snake says to Gene, \"I only wanted to tell  you] a story to live in for a time and forget.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Shell Winston, Editor at NewMyths.com \u0026amp; Author of \u003ci\u003eSinger of Norgondy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52728516772147,"sku":"9781952326868","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b2t3WkQvK3l5TTAzLzBwNlcwMWxwQT09_8e9c3b75-b44c-4cb4-80f7-07e93a5b8e5d.webp?v=1763784073","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/what-the-gargoyle-sees-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
