Mythical Man
Mythical Man | David Ly
4 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
In Mythical Man, David Ly builds, and then tears down, an army of men in a quest to explore personhood in the 21st century. Tenderness, toxic masculinity, nuances of queer love, and questions of race and identity mix in Ly's poetry, casting a spell that enters like ?a warm tongue on a first date.? Mythical Man is an authentic and accomplished debut.

Lonely. Moved between more dream-like, evocatively descriptive passages and more straightforward reflections on trying to find intimacy as a gay man, and encountering racism as an Asian man.
Stand Outs: Post One and Post Two perfectly encapsulate the photo v. reality of social media; State of Man, ensuring self-love the key to healthy relationships; Finally feels like it's reaching towards inner strength, an acknowledgement of bad survived.
