The Myth of Being

By Elizabeth Clayton

While The Myth of Being is a gentle recording of the author’s earliest impressions and memories transcribed when she was a young adult, these verses, from the period of three or four years of age until her second marriage and especially difficult struggle with bipolar illness (1970s), an aside might be added; at a level beyond effective description and playful illustrations, which do reveal the activity of beautiful memory, one can find very early, deep pondering of the meaning of our existence—being—its beauty to hold briefly, but ultimately for the author, coming dark.
