Synopsis
Chrysanthemum Under the Waves is a deeply personal, brooding work by Sound of Snow Falling author, Maggie Umber.
The book is structured as a series of blown-out, black and white silent films from the 1940’s; intimate, haunting and experimental. Umber generated these stories while dealing with divorce, relational addiction, serious illness and hospitalization. There is so much blood in this book. Like modern music samples and beats, Umber incorporates themes from folklore and ballads, drawing on the work of Elizabeth Bowen, Shirley Jackson, Goya and Sylvia Plath to create new songs. Chrysanthemum Under the Waves is a hypnagogic and visionary work, with its dark layered musical stylings. Maggie Umber pulls you in and holds you under.
