Synopsis
"Song of Melete," a collection of poems, is an unconventional love story organized into six parts, each prefaced by a letter from our speaker to the mysterious Melete. The work centers around the timeless form of the tragic romance, and the ironic, comedic, often absurd reality of unrequited, unfulfilled, and never-quite realized love. Its central theme is the tragic fear that keeps us from dreaming and hoping, that makes us complacent in our love lives, that drowns aspiration, and that settles for the easy, the familiar, the comfortable - the slow waking-death of the unaware self that ends only in our final repose. It is a wicked cowardice, and it is pervasive. But there too is a cowardice involved in pining. Bold in affection but timid in action, the lovelorn die a coward's death a thousand times. The question is, then, that once reborn, do we take what we've learned in one life and use it in the next or does fate work against us simply because we dare to believe that, this time, it isn't going to happen?
