Euryphion

Euryphion is a post-language work of micro-poetry driven by the acute sense of helplessness/void we feel when faced with unperceivable conflict, and the realisation that we are inextricably and advantageously tied to that conflict. Its title concerns the subjects of a pelasgian creation myth, Eurynome , the goddess of all things, Ophion , a serpent who purportedly seduces her, and the egg that is laid, which grows to be the earth. Euryphion , imagined here, as the child of mythologised rape, is an exemplification of what the author sees as the western societal phenomenon of thriving in a world in spite of, and perhaps as a result of, irreproachable, dilemmatic conflict.
