Later, Icarus Summary

Later, Icarus by Elizabeth McManus

Icarus swam ashore
Bedraggled, humiliated

Myths and legends capture the fragility and intensity of human experience but there are gaps between the stories people hold to be true and how it feels to witness these moments or live them.

Thoroughly relatable, Later, Icarus uncovers what happens beyond the headlines, in the aftermath.

All at once evoking a classical epilogue and a beautifully personal story of the everyday, these are the voices of ordinary people in poetry the legends and the forgotten as they reveal their own truths, and experience what comes next

Now appears a vast, exquisite silence.
From this peaceful place
The view is long
The silence vibrates
