Call Me Not Ishmael but the Sea

Meer over het boek

Exploring the depths of Melville's classic, this poetry cycle by J. Martin Daughtry reimagines "Moby Dick" through the lens of erasure poetry. By selectively removing words and phrases, Daughtry uncovers new meanings and emotions, creating a fresh narrative that reflects on themes of obsession, nature, and humanity's struggle against the vastness of the sea. The work invites readers to engage with the original text in an innovative way, highlighting the power of language and the art of transformation.
