The Night Fisher Elegies - Dean Mayes - Bog

Taking the reader on a journey through love, faith, death, grief, family and dreams, "The Night Fisher Elegies" weaves together powerful explorations of humanism, moments of reflection tinged with melancholy and short verses, which inhabit the sometimes brutal landscape of self examination.

He poses questions for the reader to ponder and wrestle with and offers pieces designed to evoke and provoke, while others are simply present as meditations to inspire and affirm. Drawing inspiration from literary heroes such as Jim Harrison, Rainer Maria Rilke, Albert Camus, Charles Bukowski & Patrick White this collection brings together pieces from over 10 years of writing and creating. "The Night Fisher Elegies" showcases Dean Mayes' literary style across short fiction, ghazal poetry, short form essays and personal reflections.
