In this poetry collection, Jarred Corona uses the blitz form to examine and dissect the words we're always gifted when our
hearts are in the midst of breaking. Is it possible to sing while drowning? How do you become the singer, not the lyre?
Let us learn again to rest.
Repetition is the suit death wears on Wednesdays at the bar
Repetition is how you take it to heart
Repetition is what traps Orpheus to the same song
Repetition is the motif that grounds the audience
Repetition is how you forget to compose
Repetition is what salves the burn
Return to the lyre in search of a new coda
Return to the arms of the man who leaves
Return to an argument you imagined
Return to yourself
Cycle through your breathing
Cycle back to the same advice
Stand beneath the falls
of the cascade of platitudes,
throw back your weary, shattered head,
and drink.
