Review: Mythical Man in The Puritan

Poet Margaryta Golovchenko reviews Mythical Man for The Puritan.

By digging up and overturning society’s and social media’s myth-making, Ly illuminates just how loaded the very notion of a “mythical man” is, how what has been deemed both ideal and unattainable is also so often a function of society’s systems of oppression. Instead, Ly subverts this kind of myth-making. He pulls his speaker out into the spotlight, and ultimately into themselves, where they sparkle, where they can know love.
