Sinossi

"Time Myths" explores the fascinating connection between how we track time today and the ancient myths that continue to shape our understanding of cosmic cycles. It argues that our current scientific and historical views on time are deeply rooted in cultural narratives, challenging the notion of time as solely objective. For instance, many ancient calendars, such as the Mayan or Egyptian, weren't just about marking days; they were tangible expressions of mythological beliefs. The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts of time and mythology, then analyzing specific calendars to reveal embedded narratives. It supports its claims with archaeological findings, ancient texts, and astronomical data. By comparing ancient myths with modern scientific practices, "Time Myths" reveals hidden cultural biases in our understanding of time. This approach offers readers fresh insights into modern interpretations of time and its impact on society, highlighting how our perception of time is a cultural construct. Ultimately, recognizing the cultural relativity of time, as "Time Myths" advocates, can deepen our understanding of diverse societies and worldviews. This recognition is crucial for cross-cultural communication and education. The book provides a unique perspective on the cultural construction of time, valuable for anyone interested in history, science, or mythology.

The Daughter of Man

L.J. Sysko

"This whip-smart collection is a playful celebration of feminine power.”
—Publisher’s Weekly
"Goddam funny ... a clinic in irony. What a beautiful book.”
—Ross Gay
"With the verve of Alice Fulton and the panache of Gerald Stern, Sysko keens into the canon, a welcome voice. Sing, indeed, heavenly muse.”
—Alan Michael Parker
"With electric nerve, L.J. Sysko's savvy and often comic poems careen through American pop culture and the suburban world that infantalizes and traps women. Sysko fixes her gaze on adolescent girls and their trajectory into selfhood—a path that takes them through sexual shame and erasure, and then, as they age, into defiance."
—Anne Marie Macari
2023 Miller Williams Poetry Prize First Finalist
Selected by Patricia Smith
The Daughter of Man follows its unorthodox heroine as she transforms from maiden to warrior—then to queen, maven, and crone—against the backdrop of suburban America from the 1980s to today. In this bold reframing of the hero’s journey, L. J. Sysko serves up biting social commentary and humorous, unsparing self-critique while enlisting an eccentric cast that includes Betsy Ross as sex worker, Dolly Parton as raptor, and a bemused MILF who exchanges glances with a young man at a gas station. Sysko’s revisions of René Magritte’s modernist icon The Son of Man and the paintings of baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, whose extraordinary talent was nearly eclipsed after she took her rapist to trial, loom large in this multifaceted portrait of womanhood. With uncommon force, The Daughter of Man confronts misogyny and violence, even as it bursts with nostalgia, lust, and poignant humor.

Archer Vale

The foreign athlete invited me back to his apartment. He showed me a “special” exercise they do in his country. 
This is getting weird. I’m sitting in bed with a champion wrestler. He’s showing me “gay femboy” porn on his laptop. 
“You need this. You need a larger, more powerful man in your life.” 
His words seep into my brain while my eyes stay transfixed on the screen. My heart races. My palms sweat. I can’t look away from this incredible sight. 
What’s happening to me?!
