Description
Taliesin presents a small public epic, using for the most part modified sonnet formats, to create a mythic recollection of an important foundation of my culture: the life of Joseph Smith and the founding of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Taliesin is not a foray into history, however; it is mythic imagining—a re-collecting, if you will—of key episodes from Joseph Smith's life, overlaid by elements of the Arthurian mythos. The result is a vision of history and myth that perhaps suggests both but that is ultimately neither.
