Cover of Dream of Me as Water, a poetry book by David Ly, featuring an image of a blue fish tail.

Moving beyond the themes of race, identity, and personhood navigated inMythical Man, David Ly's second book of poetry,Dream of Me as Water, explores ways of being that are not beholden to the expectations of others. Using water as his central metaphor, Ly meditates on how identity is never a stagnant concept, but instead something that is intangible, fluid, and ever-evolving.Dream of Me as Waterrevels in the nuances of the self, flouting outside perceptions for deeper, more personal realities. (FromPalimpsest Press)
