Of the Eaten by Tobi Brun
Of the Eaten by Tobi Brun
"Of the Eaten" is a genre-bending poetry and prose book that defies conventional standards in poetry. The book follows the life cycle of every life, as the mysterious narrator is cursed to live out humanity, and slowly become it. The book plays with themes of human nature, evolution, self-cannibalism, identity, and mythology. The reading experience is layered, as the book's formatting allows the reader to experience the life cycle in both directions, for a different experience each time. As the reader progresses, they are acquainted with the narrator, who is both the protagonist and the antagonist, the human and the other. The book sheds light on the outside perspective of the human experience and leaves the reader with a haunting expression of love, age, and growth.
