Poetic reflection on friendship, art, and mortality.

If you're drawn to the poignant and profound, "An Epic Of Durable Departures" might speak to you deeply. Jason Wee's exploration of a friendship forged in the face of illness is rendered in delicate poetry forms like renga and haiku. It daringly tries to capture what often eludes us—the essence of living and dying, using the unconventional messengers of myths and the supernatural. It's a compact journey, but its emotional reach might just linger with you long after the final page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This poetry collection stands as a record of a friendship between two artists formed in the shadow of illness and mortality. Using the renga and haiku as departure points, the author wrestles with the limits of art and of the document even as they summon werewolves, ghosts, and other myths. Faced with the inadequacies of witness, 'An Epic of Durable Departures' moves towards the living in reverse time, opening with obituaries and ending with a renewed beginning.
