In Praise of "Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology"


In Praise of...

"Ginger Zaimis sometimes sounds like Heraclitus – fragmentary, abrupt, vatic and witty. Verses from [Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology] resonate with breathtaking peremptory wisdom...Remarkable!"

"Each word is sculpted into perfect form as architecture itself to fit the necessity of language in [Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology]…The ability to abstract events, leaving the awareness of pain and joy is layered with multiple meaning. The sonnets are experienced as pages of diptychs that converge into triptychs, her new visual and literary, poetic hybrid, shaping abstraction into form, aether to volume, idea from void."

Paolo Colombo

Writer, ISTANBUL Modern Art Adviser & former Curator, MAXXI

"I am in awe of Ginger Zaimis' knowledge of history and mythology in [Prometheus Rebound and Other Mythology], her skill and creativity with form. I love the way she weaves the current with the ancient, the high with the low...so wittily, so gracefully.
